106 lengths completed!
The month started a bit slow as I had a cold. My first swim I only managed 30 lengths but today I felt stronger and did 76 lengths. Only 379 lengths to go😄Challenge accepted
Having just started swimming a couple of months ago, I could not think of a better way to keep motivated than doing this 8 Km swim for this amazing charity. My local pool where I will be doing this challenge over the month of October is 16.5Km long so that will be a total of 485 lengths.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.
