Swim 8km in October 2025

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

This October, I’m taking on the challenge of swimming 8km in open water to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).


As many of you know, Tobias was been treated by the incredible team at GOSH, and our family will be forever grateful for their knowledge, support, and care. Their work changes, and saves lives every day.


This will be my very first challenge for GOSH, and I’d be very thankful for any support you can give, whether through a donation or simply cheering me on as I take the plunge!


“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.” – J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
