A swimming update

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for visiting my page and for all the sponsorship. I thought I would give an update on how I’m doing. 
So far (up until Tuesday 11th March) I have swum 7 times. During this time I have so far managed to swim 406 lengths of the pool which works out as just over 10km. 

I set myself the challenge of swimming 15km but I’m feeling confident I will do this so am now aiming to do over 20km. I will just keep going and see how many I can do.

First weekend

Hi everyone, 

This weekend I managed to swim 1km (40 lengths of the pool) on Saturday and 1.3km (52 lengths of the pool) on Sunday. So I’ve completed 2.3km so far. 

Thank you for all your support.

My Challenge

Thank you for visiting my page. I have decided to take on this challenge to raise money for Great Ormond street hospital. The challenge is to swim 8km in March but I’m aiming to swim 15km!! I will keep you all updated on my progress. 

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.
