Life Update

After being made redundant, I’ve had to be a little more mindful of my finances, which means I won’t be able to fully fund all my swimming sessions throughout March as originally planned.


I’ve spoken with GOSH and we’re going to move my fundraising challenge to the end of April to allow me to spread the cost over two months instead. 


I’ll still be doing the odd swim throughout March and the good news is that I already had a family trip to Center Parcs booked for this weekend (very grateful that was paid for before redundancy!), so I’ll still be able to get a few laps in soon. 💙


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

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this April 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.
