8K Done

I’ve officially completed my 8K swim challenge and I couldn’t be prouder! I swam almost 3K this morning, and the fact that the pool was nearly empty really helped, the buzz and energy are still going, so I’ll be continuing my swims this month and updating this page along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared, or cheered me on. While it might seem like a small amount, the money I’ve raised can help fund life-changing care and research for children who need it most.

Thank you all for your support 💙

4K done

First 2K done!

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 💙
