Issy Troth

Introduction

Hi Everyone, I’m Issy. I’ve been a regular swimmer now for a few years and think it’s time I challenge myself. I came across this fundraising challenge and decide to take the dive!

I have always loved swimming and I’m now at a point where I swim several times a week at my local pool.

Great Ormond Street Hospital is one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals, helping treat and tackle some of the world’s rarest and complex illnesses. In a political climate where charities and health services are being pushed to their limits, I’d like to try and do my bit.

I am aware I will be able to complete this challenge within a month quite easily, so I have decided to try and reduce the time limit to 1 week. This means over the course of 2 or 3 sessions I’ll be swimming 5 miles (322 lengths).

I am going to spend the next few weeks training for this, and then in the final week of October I will attempt the full 5 miles.

Thanks for reading! If you’re able to donate that would be hugely appreciated. If not a simple encouraging message would go a long way!

Thanks, Issy :) xx

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

I’m challenging myself to swim 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.

I confirm I am a UK taxpayer and would like Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity to reclaim tax on this donation, any future gifts I make, and any donations I have made in the past four years.
