Swim 8km in March 2026

I’m swimming 8km in March for GOSH Charity! 

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

I've recently started going swimming again and I feel like this would be a good challenge to set myself whilst also attempting to raise a little money for GOSH. 

As many of you know, as a child I struggled a lot with palpitations as a result of a heart condition called SVT. In 2014 after many appointments and tests, I had keyhole heart surgery at GOSH, although it was scary, the staff and hospital were wonderful. 

I know this hospital relies on charitable donations to be able to support the children and families that visit them. 

Any donations you are able to make are extremely appreciated. Please help me to achieve my goal by giving whatever you can; no amount is too small to make a difference.
