4th Swim

Did my 4th swim yesterday! Swam constantly for 1km! So 5km in total now! 😄

3rd Swim

Today I swam 24 laps. In total I've done just over 4km so far, so I'm over half way! I will be going back on Sunday and I hope I will complete many for laps. Thank you to all the people who have supported me in this challenge. It is greatly appreciated. I hope we meet the target of £225

First swim

Thank you to everyone who has donated. Today I did my first swim and I did 60 lengths (30laps / 1.5km) . It was very tiring but my family cheered me on and I powered through. Thanks for your support. I'll be back Tuesday to do some more 😃

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.

Since October 2025, I have visiting the hospital for scans and procedures. During this time, we’ve seen first-hand the incredible care, dedication and kindness of the doctors, nurses and staff. They don’t just treat children — they support whole families — and we are so grateful for everything they continue to do for us.

GOSH works tirelessly to give seriously ill children the best possible care and the best possible chance — and that’s why this challenge means so much to us.

With every kilometre I swim and every pound raised, we’ll be helping to support the amazing work they do every single day.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for your support.
