I'm taking part in the November Swim Challenge

I’m taking part in the November Swim Challenge for Dementia UK and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

I hope you will consider donating. Like many people, I have experienced first hand the devastating loss of dear ones to this cruel disease. I have also been in awe of the support that family and friends provide to care for those they love.

£33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

I reached the 15km target. Big thanks to all the lovely people who sponsored me. I really appreciate it. And I will continue swimming. Proud of myself and glad it gave me the chance to think about my lovely mum.  

On the home straight

Well, here I am in the last week of the challenge and I have now swum 12km. Just 3km left and I am done. I do think I will keep up this swimming thing. It has been an enjoyable challenge.
I really hope that you will consider sponsoring me - no amount is too small…especially if you can GiftAid it.

Hello there. So far I have totalled 4km and rediscovered my joy of swimming…bonus!
Please consider sponsoring me, even for a small amount. Literally, every penny counts.  
Swimming up and down the pool in that rhythmic almost mesmeric way has allowed my mind to wander and I have thought a lot about my lovely mum and the care and support she got, especially from my dad. It is indescribable to watch someone you love drift away - sometimes gradually, other times with a violent suddenness. Any support is welcome. 

Big thanks to those who have already sponsored me
