And it’s done! 8km completed

Final 1km of the 8km swim in March! Thanks everyone for your support and donations ❤️

2km swim! 1km to go

Proud of myself for this. 2km swim tonight with no stopping! Kept a steady pace and just enjoyed it 🏊‍♀️ …other than the cramp in my feet after 😂 Only 1km left until I reach the 8km target!

5km done! Featuring GOSH hat

First 1km wearing my purple GOSH hat! That’s 5km total in the bag now. 3 sessions to go!

Halfway there! 4km down

Think one of us miscounted the lengths… 4km done. This was tough because I have the worst leg doms I’ve had all year. May be waddling but proud for getting it done 👍

3km completed

Another km added to the bag on Wednesday morning 👏

2km down

Did 50 lengths on Friday so we’re actually at 2.25km, but let’s say 2km for now. Will be swimming twice again this week. Might even try squeeze in a 3rd session on Thursday to get up to 5km 👏 Not sure how to record my activity on here but will post pics to prove I’m doing it haha!

1km down!

1km done this morning. Walked to the gym too as I don’t have a car, but refused to let that stop me. KM number 2 tomorrow 👏

I'm swimming 8K in March for GOSH Charity

I’m challenging myself to swim 8 kilometres this March to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at GOSH from all over the UK for life-changing treatment and care. Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs.

And with every metre I swim I’ll be helping GOSH Charity give seriously ill children the chance of a better future.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, so please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
