As the autumn/winter training season kicks off, I’m diving into a challenge that’s close to my heart. This October, I’ll be swimming to raise money forGreat Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) — a charity that provides life-changing care to children and families when they need it most.

GOSH has asked swimmers to complete 8km over the month… but I’ll be pushing beyond that, braving the cold starts and open water to make every stroke count.

Whether it’s in the pool or out in nature, this challenge will be tough — but knowing it’s for such an incredible cause gives me that extra drive to keep going.

If you’d like to support me and help make a real difference, please consider sponsoring me. Every donation, big or small, helps GOSH continue their vital work.

Thank you so much for your support — it means the world to me and to the families GOSH supports 💙

Let’s make a splash together and please share far and wide.

I’m swimming 8km in October for GOSH Charity!

I’m challenging myself to swim a little more than 8km this October 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.
