I’m really a mermaid

Hi everyone I’ve set my sights on challenging myself to a sponsored swim for GOSH. 
The target is 8k in the month of March but I'm aiming for 20k
I can’t run but I can swim. That’s because I’m really a mermaid. 
I spent my entire childhood swimming at competition level and I’ve recently fallen back in love with the hypnotic rhythm of lap after lap after lap where my whole body and mind is free to stretch and wonder as carefree as a child's should be. 

I’ve decided to put my tail and gils to good use by supporting GOSH. I’ve chosen this charity to support the entire hospital and more potently I’m doing it for my business partner and his daughter who unfortunately need to spend a lot of time there. 

I’ll keep you updated on my progress throughout the month as I race myself and smash each milestone. 
Your donation how ever small will be appreciated greatly! 
I’d like to raise a minimum of £500 
I’ll exceed 20k if you help me exceed £500

Thankyou x

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.
