Day 1

Hello ✨

They say "Growth starts at the end of your comfort zone". 

For me, that meant becoming a student again and learning to swim as an adult. 🤓

My first goal was simple: 200m.

There were days it felt impossible, but I'm so grateful that my body found that strength to get there. 💪

Now, I am taking that strength and turning it into support for the children at GOSH.💜💜💜

Every lap that I finish is a reminder that we can do hard things- especially when we're doing it for someone else.

Thank you all for the love, support and encouragement 💜💜💜

Today's Stats: 
Distance: 1000 meters

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.
