Time to swim!

I’ve always loved being in the water. For me, swimming is where everything goes quiet — just you, the rhythm of your stroke, and your thoughts. But this month, every length I swim has felt different. Because I keep thinking about why I’m doing it.
This month I’m swimming 8K for Great Ormond Street Hospital. GOSH treats over 70,000 children a year with some of the most complex, life-threatening conditions imaginable. Behind every one of those numbers is a child who didn’t choose this, and a family sitting in a waiting room, hoping with everything they have.
I get to choose to get in the pool. Those families don’t get to choose any of it.
That thought alone is enough to make me push off the wall and keep going.
GOSH’s charity funds the pioneering research, specialist equipment, and family support that give these kids a fighting chance. It’s extraordinary work — and it only happens because people decide it matters.
If you can spare £5, £10, or anything at all — please donate via the link in the comments. And if you can’t right now, a share means just as much. Help me get this in front of as many people as possible. 💙

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).

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.
