My target 8 kms

8km done!!!

We’re now officially at the end of October, and I’m so so happy to say that I’ve completed my 8km (and then some) for the Great Ormond Street fundraiser!

After many many trips to the pool, swallowing several pints of pool water, learning that cramp is the enemy, accepting that I’m going to have permanent goggle marks, rocking some questionable fashion choices, obtaining a new perfume called Eau De Chlorine, and sustaining a genuine hand injury from being whacked by a very determined swimmer, I’ve finally done it! 

I am truly so grateful to every single person who has donated, it only just hit me on my last swim that the money you’ve contributed is going to directly impact a child going through something totally unimaginable. No child deserves to be a patient at GOSH, but with the money you’ve donated, that experience is a tiny bit less scary for them. 

There is still time to donate, I would love to meet the goal so we can fund an amazing Play Specialist! 

2 more km to go!

6 down, 2 left! 1 week to go, going to fit in as much as I can in this week to meet the goal, thank you so much for everyone’s donations! 

First swim done!

1.3km down,  6.7km to go! 

THANK YOU!!

I just wanted to say a thank you to everyone who has donated so far, we’re not even into October yet and have already raised over £100! 
So so SO grateful to each person who’s donated, it means the world and will make such a difference for these children. 
Stay posted for stunning pics of swim hats and goggles xo

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

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km across 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.
