An 8 year old boy from Whitley Bay is swimming in the North Sea every day this month to raise money for Cancer Research UK, after learning about his grandad's leukaemia diagnosis.
Dominic Oxborough learnt from his mum Kate about his grandad's diagnosis, and he was originally unsure about what it meant, but after hearing about how people can be live on and be cured by the work done by Cancer Research UK, he decided that he wanted to raise money for the organisation.
The suggestion from Dominic was that he could go in the sea every day and get sponsored for doing so, and ever since his mum has been taking him to beaches like Cullercoats and Tynemouth before school to help complete his challenge.
