Over the years, Focus FM’s Rod Fisher has taken part in various sporting events, often also supporting various charities through raising awareness and fundraising.

On Sunday 14th August 2022, Rod will be taking on the 13km Thames Marathon Swim to raise money for our Charity of the Year, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. This charity are committed to helping improve the lives of those affected by Motor Neuron Disease.

The swim will cover the wonderful stretch of the Thames, from Henley-on-Thames to Marlow, and has now become of the UK’s most significant open-water marathon swims.

Rod says, “In an event to support a great charity in these difficult times where smaller charities can be easily overlooked, the marathon will be a great open-water challenge to help My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and challenge myself at the same time.”.
