I’m swimming for brighter childhoods

I’m doing something I love, swimming, but this time, it’s for something much bigger.

This October, I’m challenging myself to swim 8 km to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity).

Swimming has always been my reset button: a place to think, push limits, and find calm in movement. But while I swim for clarity, many children at Great Ormond Street Hospital are fighting for something far greater, a chance at health, laughter, and a future.

GOSH Charity supports children with rare and complex illnesses, funding cutting-edge research, medical innovation, and care that gives them not just treatment, but childhoods - moments of joy, curiosity, and connection that every child deserves.

So, every kilometre I swim this month will be dedicated to these children and their families; a small gesture to honour their extraordinary strength and courage.

If this resonates with you, please support my challenge. Whether it’s a donation, a share, or a word of encouragement, it all helps.

Every contribution, no matter how small, moves us closer to giving seriously ill children the best care, the best chance and the best childhood.

Thank you for being part of this 💙
