Swim 8km in October 2025

Raising awareness

This month of October I am swimming 8km (360 lengths in 25m pool) for an amazing children's hospital Great Ormond Street Hospital. Please can my lovely Facebook friends and family donate if they can afford to to this great cause! 😁🫶 Or could you like and share this post to raise awareness please and thank you. I will be swimming 40 lengths a day and should be completed in an 8 day time period. Thank you everyone!

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.
