Swim 8km in October 2025

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).

When I was 3, I discovered I had Juvenile Arthritis which is a condition that affects my joints and muscles. I couldn't run, jump or swim and sometimes when I was in nursery, I could barely walk. 

After lots of trips to hospital where I had to have lots of big injections while being put to sleep, I was able to do everything again. 

Great Ormond Street has done so much for me so I've decided to do something for them. 

Your donation will help Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity raise funds to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. 

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.

Thank you.
