Swim 8km in March 2025

Every penny counts

As many of you know GOSH has been and continues to be a big part of our lives. They give so much to make challenging times a little bit easier for those needing them. Many of you will also know that I am not a massive fan of exercise so this will be a challenge for me. Whenever I don't want to go, or feel I can't do anymore, I just need to look at my brave, strong, beautiful granddaughter, that soon puts things into perspective and kicks my butt. If anyone can spare anything it would be much appreciated by myself and all those families that GOSH support in those difficult times. Thank you xx

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.
