Back in the pool
After a full week in bed with Norovirus, I am back with a nice 1km done this morning. A few more meters to go!Quick update
Hello everyone! I usually write my blog posts after a nice swim, when I feel revitalised and in good shape. Well, today I am writing from my bed as I have a bad virus and have had a high fever for 3 days now.... Hopefully it will go away soon. I will keep you updated!Slower but stronger
Easy getting into the pool today after drinks at Barts yesterday?Stop counting
They once told me that when you break the 500m turning point you could then swim forever….Keep flowing!!!
It’s awesome! As I keep swimming, your donations keep coming! Thank you so much to all sponsors so far! Every of meter count, and every penny goes to GOH!Doubling down
Hi all! Less than a week into my challenge, I have managed to double the number of lanes I am able to do from 10 to 26! The right leg and knee are still much weaker but I feel them more balanced, and my pace has surely improved! Your donations keep me on my toes, and I don’t want to disappoint you!Increased Fundraising target!
My friends are awesome! In less than 24H I reached my initial fundraising goal of £500 so now I am challenging to get to £800!Update
Wow! Incredible! You are all amazing! In less than 12H I am almost at my fundraising goal! That surely is a great push for me to get thru this challenge.A challenging challenge for me ahead!
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.
