My Activity Tracking

kms

My target 8 kms

Over 6k!! Another 1,100m in the bag!!

Early mornings are still my favourite time for swimming! There’s something really refreshing about getting up and out for a swim! So pleased to get to 6,650m and a manageable chunk left to do by next Friday! 😅☺️🏊🏻‍♀️

Over 5k… getting closer to the goal

So last night I did a PB 30 lengths in just under 30 mins! 🙌🏼 
5,550m completed - 10 days to go to 8k. 
Spurred on by these verses reminding me not of my earthly goals but heavenly ones too…

“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 

We are already feeling incredibly blessed by all of you in support, prayers and love as I do this challenge but also as we have gone through this journey! We know there is a blessing to follow as we continue forward in faith to the future and calling God has for each of us and especially for Naomi. 

“I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We press on… 2,450 to go! 🏊🏻‍♀️

4km completed! Halfway through! 🎉

I’m so happy to complete another 1km in one sitting today! 🎉🙌🏼
Grand total of 4km and nearly half way through the month of October. 
Naomi is also doing amazingly well and completed her first full day at school today! 🎉🥳

3km!! 🎉🎉

Last night I did my first late evening swim. To be honest, I wasn’t feeling too fresh, it had been a long and busy day but the pool was calling…. So did a friend who is cheering me on and….
I did 40 lengths in one sitting - adding another 1km and bringing my total to 3km so far! 😊🎉🏊🏼🙌🏼 
I’m so pleased with how this is going! 10th Oct and 3km complete ☑️ 
Thank you for all your support. ❤️

2km complete! 🎉

Early start to this week’s swims and another 20 lengths in the bag. Which brings my total to 2km!!! It’s only the 6th October and I am so happy to get to this point so early! 
What makes today’s swim even more special is that today is Naomi’s first day of phased return back to school… it’s just 3 weeks today that we walked out of Koala ward and returned home to Wales! She’s making an amazing and miraculous recovery and very determined and resilient! ❤️‍🩹 Go Naomi Go! ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏼🎉

First 1k + complete! 🎉

It’s Friday the 3rd October… and I’ve completed 1,500 which was my target for this week! 
I’m so happy with how it is going and how much support and donations have already been raised! I really am overwhelmed and grateful and Naomi is also enjoying the journey and the updates and can’t wait till the last week when she will be able to swim again and join me for the challenge! ❤️

Swim Challenge Eve!

So tomorrow is the first plunge!
I’m excited to be starting this swimming challenge tomorrow to not only raise money for GOSH but to also give back to the hospital where our daughter recently had life changing surgery  and is recovering well with a  bright future full of hope! This hospital has been one part of our journey. Many people have been praying and partnering with us over the past 2+ years. The support, love and prayers we have received is incredible. We thank God for all that he has done!
This swim challenge will make a difference to other children who are also going through challenging, serious illness. If you are able to- please sponsor me. Thank you in advance!
