The reason

I wish I could write something captivating and inspiring but iv never been to good at putting words to paper. 

Everyone knows of the amazing work Great Ormand street and how if we needed them, they would be there. I was looked after as an out patient as a child and it never felt scary to go, in fact was great fun! But I know I’m one of the lucky ones. 

Iv worked with children for many years and seen lots of little ones need care from GOSH. I have 4 little people very close to me who also use their amazing and skilled services. I just wanted to give back and get myself back into the pool 🐠 

So thank you for all the donations and support and thank you all at GOSH for your outstanding service to our children and young people. 

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.
