Let the “Swim” begin!

Today is the 1st March and my challenge has officially started 👏🏼 thank you to all who have supported me so far. 

Please share my link with family, friends & colleagues to help me raise as much as possible.

I love swimming

I swim at St Ives (Cambridgeshire) and I love swimming it brings me happiness & joy. I would love more children to experience the fun of Swimming but some can’t because they’re fighting an illness. Please help me raise money.

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.

After watching my lovely friend battle cancer and win the fight, I want to help other win to! 

Not all childhood illnesses are as serious or can be seen but many suffer in silence, just like my brother whose body finds food a struggle. He is currently going through investigation to find out why. 

So please dig deep and help me raise as much as possible even £1 could help save or improve one child’s life! 

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.
