day 3

Day 3 saw another 2k done, in two sessions of 20 lengths. Day 4 is here and I'm going to be trying 40 in one hit for the first time. My sister and nephew are coming up from Cambridgeshire to swim some of it with me for support and of course my lovely georgie.

progress!

Day 2 and I've swam 3k so far, going to try and do the whole 8k by Fri 7 March, then plough on see how many KM I can do in a month. Donations welcome until 31 March. Thank you all. Xxx

160 lengths...

Gonna be doing 160 lengths of the Sea Lanes olympic sized pool (50 meters). I'm going to do 4 days of 40 lengths consecutively. I'll record and share output from my smart watch to show progress and hopefully we can raise some coins for the unwell ones.

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.
