One Kirkwood manâs mission to help find a cure for a rare type of cancer involves attempting to swim the English Channel in the Atlantic Ocean.
Jonathan Whiting has a personal vendetta against cholangiocarcinoma cancer. This obscure bile duct cancer, whose few symptoms mimic other illnesses, took the life of his wife, Lori, on Oct. 11, 2016. She was 53 years old.
Durham University alumna Florence Jackson is set to swim across the English Channel in order to raise money for Tom’s Fight, the charity set up in order to raise funds for the recovery and rehabilitation of fellow student, Tom Lazarides.
Following a swimming pool accident in June 2020, Tom suffered significant spinal injuries, fracturing his neck in two places, sustaining a serious spinal cord injury, and then contracting rhabdomyolysis in hospital, a condition where damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly.
70% of young people with spinal injuries end up in care-for-the-elderly homes.
Tom is a student at Hild Bede, studying Business Management, and before his injury, he played county-level cricket, rugby, and Durham University Golf. Florence Jackson, a family friend, has already completed two fundraising swims in aide of Tom’s Fight and the spinal injury charity Aspire.
