Challenge complete!

Finally managed to complete the challenge today with a final swim! 🏊‍♀️ Thanks everyone :)

Over half way, yay! 💪🏼🏊‍♀️

Today I crossed the half way mark with another 1.5km before the school run 🏊‍♀️ Beginning to feel like a giant drop of chlorine, but hopefully downhill from here! 

Monday 1.5km Day :)

Clocked in another 1.5km this morning, motivated by the donations - thanks guys! Hoping for a productive week! 🏊‍♀️ 💪🏼 

2km down!

Today I kicked my swim challenge off with a bang and managed to get in 2km (100 lengths in the pool), all without sinking :) 

Looking forward to racking up more km soon! 🏊‍♀️ 

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.
