My target 8 kms
I’m (attempting) swimming 8km in October for GOSH Charity!
I’m setting myself a challenge to swim 8km this October to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity). I don't swim and can only do breaststroke so it's going to be a slow journey....but GOSH is worth it! And will be easier on my knees than last years Squat challenge! ;-)
Every year I try to do something to raise funds for GOSH to support the work they do and show gratitude for the amazing treatment Liam received for his Sagittal Craniosynostosis at just a tiny & helpless 5 months old. (And during Covid) We'll never be able to thank them enough.
Over to the professional blurb writers....
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.
