I'm swimming for Dementia UK

I'm taking on a 30-Day Swimming Challenge and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge to swim 50km for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference.

Thank you!

Week 3

Saturday 22nd Aug
Week 3 of my Dementia UK 50km challenge is done! This week was a tough one - I ended up with viral tonsillitis at the start of the week which I couldn't shift, so I had to miss my planned Wednesday and Thursday swims 🥹 thankfully after a trip to see the pharmacist, I felt a lot better Friday so resumed swimming 😊 and I felt lots better today which meant I could do a 5km swim and catch back up! Only 11km left to go now 🏊🏻‍♀️ hoping to make my Grandad proud ❤️

First Swim 🏊🏻‍♀️

Saturday 1st Aug
I've just completed my first swim as part of my 50km challenge for Dementia UK 🎉 I have to be honest, I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it after some bad news yesterday, but I remembered that he is the person I'm doing this for, and I want to make him proud 💜 5km down, 45km to go!
