JAZZ™ Apple are joining forces with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) at this year’s Bournemouth Pier to Pier swim.
Hailed as one of Europe’s largest open water swimming events, this year’s swim takes place on Saturday 29th June with over 1,300 swimmers ready to take to the water to raise money for the heart charity.
This will be the fourth time JAZZ™ Apple are sponsoring the event, which will see around 1,500 participants taking on the 1.4-mile challenge between Boscombe and Bournemouth Pier on 29th June.
Since it was first held in 1992, more than 34,000 people have taken the plunge into the English Channel for the British Heart Foundation, helping to raise more than £3.6m for research into treatments and cures for heart and circulatory diseases.
The JAZZ™ Apple team will be on hand to help cheer swimmers over the finish line. They will also be handing out goody bags packed with delicious, tangy-sweet JAZZ™ Apples and a finisher’s t-shirt for participants in need of a refreshing lift.
Kate Sparks, Senior Event Manager said: “It’s wonderful to have JAZZ™ Apple on board again this year. We’re incredibly thankful for all their support and love the atmosphere they bring. This year we have flipped the course round so that swimmers finish on Bournemouth Beach, which we hope will bring an even more celebratory environment for our finishers.
“By sponsoring the British Heart Foundations Bournemouth for the Pier to Pier swim, JAZZ™ Apple are helping make a difference to the 7.6 million people in the UK living with heart and circulatory diseases. Together we can help fund groundbreaking research and continue to make medical advancements in this area to save and improve lives.
We can’t wait to see all of our swimmers and the JAZZ™ team, at the finish line on the 29th June. We still have places available for those wanting a personal challenge and do something incredible for charity.”
Hannah McIlfatrick, Commercial Director at Worldwide Fruit Ltd, exclusive suppliers of JAZZ™ Apple, added: “We’re thrilled that JAZZ™ Apple are sponsoring the BHF again on one of their brilliant events. We know just how important the Bournemouth Pier to Pier swim is in raising funds to help the millions of people living with heart or circulatory diseases in the UK and it’s wonderful to be involved. Good luck to all the wonderful swimmers and fundraisers’ – we can’t wait to see you down there!”
This year, JAZZ™ Apple will be helping guide swimmers to the finish line on Bournemouth Beach with a giant apple buoy. Based on their always refreshing, sweet-tangy apples, the big JAZZ™ Apple buoy will be an a-peel-ing feature of the landscape on the day to mark the special event.
