Swim 8km in October 2025

My Activity Tracking

12
kms

My target 8 kms

11.5kms achieved to date and raised £2425.00

I am staggered with how generous everyone has been.. I would love to achieve 10x my goal ! 
I have decided to keep going as I have superseded my 8K challenge ,just to see how many Kms I can achieve for the month. 

Completed 8K but keeping the KM’s going this month

I just thought I’d carry on clocking the Km’s for the month of October as the money is still coming in slowly but surely! 

Completed the challenge

I have now swum 8K for GOS!!
I plan to continue to clock more kilometres anyway this month and see if I can raise any further funds!! woohooo!!

Beyond my expectations

I've now swam 5.5K so I'm well on track!
I could do with a monthly challenge to keep me so motivated!

Half way

I have now swum 1.5km twice and 1km once.  That's 4K and half way to my goal! Amazing. :)

So far

To date I have swum 2.5kms. I’m an over a quarter of the way there!! 
Thanks to all my family friends &work colleagues for supporting me and helping me raise funds for an amzing hospital.  . 

Huge thanks

I’m now over the £1300 mark now..  Quite staggering really.  
Thanks to all my friends and work colleagues for supporting me with this swim 8km challenge. for Great Ormond Street, 
Quite amazing.

I’m swimming 8km in October for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this October to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Childhood is special. It should be a time of joy, wonder, curiosity and fun. Of making friends, making mistakes, and growing into the adults we become. But it’s also fragile, and sometimes all too brief.

That’s why Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raises funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. For the children from all over the UK who are treated by Great Ormond Street Hospital every day, for children with rare or complex illnesses everywhere, for this generation and all those to come. Because no childhood should be lost to serious illness.

And with every kilometre I swim, and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
