My Activity Tracking

kms

My target 8 kms

DONE!!

So very chuffed with myself, finished today with 114 lengths 

Day 2

2,800mrs in the bag.  Wish the pool times were more consistent so it doesn’t feel quite like first day at the Boxing Day sales!!

First swim complete!

2.8kms/114 lengths done. Really chuffed with that one, just wish the whistle hadn’t gone!

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.
