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!

Sunday 30th Nov
Just completed the final 2.1km. sat in my car outside the gym feeling very happy with myself. I've been contacted by so many people who have family members affected by Dementia/altzimers, the thought of them has spurred me on when my shoulders have been killing. Everyone has been so generous. Thank you all xxx

Am I there yet??

2km and a swimming lesson

Wednesday 12th Nov
Managed to swim 100 lengths (2km). Was absolutely buggered afterwards but it's all worth it. 😊
A fella spoke to me when I was having a breather and asked for technique advice. Felt nice to help someone ❤️

1st swim

Tuesday 4th Nov
Well I managed my first swim after work. I currently feel like I have knuckle-dragging arms as I swam a mile in 46 minutes.

Ooooooooh I'll sleep tonight!!!!
