Swim 8km in October 2025

My Boy

My eldest son has been under GOSH for only a short amount of time. This is the beginning of his journey. In the short amount of time, even my first visit, I was take  back by the amount of children and their illnesses broke me. From walking from one department to the other, my heart knew I had to do something good for this amazing place.

The nurses and doctors are a different breed, Thomas was heard, taken care of and us as parents were listened to. Thomas’ care has been amazing. 

Without going into to much detail, Tom’ kidneys are not working how they should, it’s having a knock on effect with his heart and blood pressure. But he is doing amazing, nothing is fazing him. If he was well enough to do this amazing charity event, he would smash it. 

Please help in anyway you can! I’ll keep updating when I start from the 1st October and hopefully you will all get a laugh out of it with me xxx

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

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