Swim 8km in October 2025

Begging letter 🙏

Please help me….☺️
Hi everyone, as you all know- I am most definitely NOT a natural athlete and have battled with my weight and health over recent years. However, I am trying to lose weight and get myself back to be able to live life fully again and I have decided to set myself a challenge that will also benefit others less fortunate than myself. 
I have signed up to SWIM 8KM in OCTOBER to raise money for GREAT ORMOND ST HOSPITAL. 
If any of you would be kind enough, & are able to, please could you help me by sponsoring me using the link below… even a £ will help. 
In return I promise to do my very best to reach the 8KM target….  & I will post updates through out October so you can judge me and encourage me! 
Thank you so much for any support you can give 😘😘

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

I’m challenging myself to swim 8km this October 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.
