Thanks again to all my sponspors so far - I really appreciate it! 

.4KM

Wahey! 
We’re so close to hitting 1KM!
Currently we’re looking like - 880/8000 that is a whopping 11% of our goal completed and we’re only 5 days into the month 🥳.

Thanks so much to everyone who has sponsored me so far! I really appreciate you all - I’ve had to up my fundraising goal already only 5 days in! 

.48 KM

I swam 480M this evening, that’s nearly half a KM! This means I am off to a good start! 
For some reason I can’t log half Km’s so won’t be able to update the log! But i will keep my posts up for live updates for you all! 

Thanks so much to everyone who has sponsored me so far x

My Reason Why!

Hi all, 
It's the first of October and I'm about to hit the ground running with this challenge.
I'm swimming 8K this October to raise funds for Great Ormond Street who have spent the majority of this year caring for my Best Friends Son. 
I have been looking for a swimming challenge and I know that GOSH have helped many children - so what better cause!
Please follow along my journey for all my updates on my Swimming this October! 

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.
