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.

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

Thank you!

Day 7

Saturday 7th Nov

Hi everyone!

This challenge only started 7 days ago, and so far I’ve managed to swim 5.950 km and raise over £100! 🏊‍♀️

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated, shared my fundraising page, and supported and cheered me on so far. It really means a lot!

There are still plenty of swims and weeks ahead, so let’s see if I can go beyond my original 10K goal!

Please keep sharing my fundraising page and supporting the challenge. We’re doing this for a great cause: Dementia UK. Every donation and share helps!

Thank you all! ❤️


First day of November Swim Challenge

Sunday 1st Nov

Started this challenge in the best way possible! 🏊‍♀️

I swam 1.75 km indoors in less than an hour, achieving a new personal record and what a brilliant way to kick off my 10K swimming challenge!

Throughout November, I’ll continue swimming, sharing my progress and raising awareness and funds for a cause very close to my heart: Dementia UK.

I’ve been a nurse for 10 years, working in an acute Medicine for Older People ward. I’ve cared for many patients living with dementia, and I’ve seen first-hand how much support they need and how much more is still needed.

This challenge is my little way of giving something back and supporting those patients and their families, even if it’s just a small contribution.

I’d really appreciate your support! Please consider sponsoring my challenge and sharing my fundraising page. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.

Let’s make these 10 km count! ❤️

Thank you to my Sponsors
