PS: there was a 'TRAINING #2' of 5km at 2hr15min i forgot to log a blog post for lol

TRAINING #1

3km in 1hr18mins done and dusted!! cutting it fine with the training with the big swim less than a week away:’) miranda asking me ‘how’s the training going?’ gave me the wake up call that we needed to begin

PSA: DATE CHANGE

just realised i will be hungover 17th march lol (got my priorities straight obviously) so moving swim day to 25th:p

The Plan

hello friends

i have pledged to swim 8k this March in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) but rather than spreading it out over the whole month im gonna be potentially maybe slightly crazy and do it in one day…so picked 17th march.

if ur able and willing to, plz donate and support this endeavour, thank u in advance for any donations!!

I'm swimming 8K in March for GOSH Charity

I’m challenging myself to swim 8 kilometres this March to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity).

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, around 750 seriously ill children and young people are seen at GOSH from all over the UK for life-changing treatment and care. Every day, doctors and nurses battle the most complex illnesses, and the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs.

And with every metre I swim I’ll be helping GOSH Charity give seriously ill children the chance of a better future.

This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support, so please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.

Thank you to my Sponsors
