Massive start

Thank you everyone that has already donated I’ve got plenty of work to do to live up to everyone’s generous donations! 

A worthy challenge

So never done anything like this before but here goes- wanting to stay focused on my weight loss journey this year and also wanted to really push myself so why not put more pressure on me by adding charity work too! GOSH is a worthy cause and do great work and I would love to generate as much to them as possible so please whatever you can spare it would be very appreciated thank you 

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.
