I completed my swimming challenge!

Although not in the month March due to a nasty chest infection, I started all over again in April and challenged myself additionally to do it within two weeks time. I started on the 14th of April and I completed my task, 8km, 320 lanes over 8 sessions today the 28th of April.  I am really pleased I was part of this challenge and I hope the incredible sum that GOSH raised, which was over £145,000.00 can help all the wonderful children at GOSH.  Thank you to my supporters! 

2nd of March- Over a Quarter of my challenge completed

I did over a quarter of my challenge so far, 2.25km, so 90 lengths. I did 50 on my first day and today I did 40. I am super grateful for your support, thank you!! 

I am swimming 8km for the children at Great Ormond Street Hospital

Hello,

This month, March 2025, I am taking part in a charity swim to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Poorly children deserve a happy childhood, and I would like to help them receive the best possible care and love!
Although 8 km doesn't seem that much, with two small children, work, childcare and being able to fit my free time around when the lanes are open, it will be a huge challenge for me! 
Therefore, I am asking for your help. Your support will be hugely appreciated, will boost me in completing my challenge and moreover, will help all the incredible children at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Thank you!

Completely agree re fitting it in, I’ve tried to do some lane sessions before and it was impossible for us to fit it in! Amazing cause, good luck, and wishing you lots of quiet lanes!
