Swimming complete

So I took on a swim challenge for the month of March. I have completed it today with 8.525km and collected £290 so far it may but I am pleased to have raised this money for Great Ormond Street Children's Charity. 
A big thanks to all those that followed my swimming challenge and encouraged me and donated for the cause. 

Up for a challenge

Hi,

I've recently joined the Swim 8km in March challenge to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) and to help seriously ill children from across the UK who arrive at Great Ormond Street Hospital for life-changing treatments.

This will be a big challenge for me, but I’m determined to complete it and I would really love your support! Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference as together, we can build a better future for seriously ill children.

Please visit my fundraising page to make a donation. Or, you can copy and paste the link below into your web browser:

Thank you so much for your support!

Best wishes,  

Kathy

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.
