Swim 8km in March 2025

Completed

Thank you for your support for GOSH 
So, in 4 weeks I set myself a goal to swim 8km which was 320 lengths at Royston pool.   I set myself a challenge to swim 4 times a week before work.  
Thanks to your motivation I decided to challenge myself further and I swam 500 lengths in 4 weeks.  
Thank you all.   Every penny counts for GOSH.   

Please support this worthy cause

Last year I began swimming in the mornings before I went to work.   I pledge to "up my game" and swim 8km in March to support the wonderful GOSH whose work for children is inspirational.   

I will need to increase my swimming to 4 mornings a week.  I'll be tired by Fridays but I'm committed.  GOSH need support to maintain the quality of care they provide for children and young people.    Please donate a few pounds to enable me to smash my target.    
I will get my class of children to monitor my progress and feedback weekly.   
Thanks.   Carol 

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

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this March 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.
