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!

40 and thats a wrap!!

Thursday 27th Nov
So chuffed to have completed the last 40 lengths this afternoon meaning I have completed the 10k swim challenge in November for Dementia UK.
A total of 400 lengths over 4 weeks was difficult due to an illness I had which meant I missed 2 swim sessions meaning I had to swim more on the sessions left 🥵 With lots of encouragement from my family & friends I kept swimming and slowly ticked off the lengths.  Thank you to all who have sponsored me. For anyone that wants to sponsor me, its not too late, just click the donate link 😊 xx

46 penultimate 🏊‍♀️!

Tuesday 25th Nov
Penultimate swim this afternoon and I'm pleased that I managed another 46 lengths 😊.  This now leaves me with just 40 left to swim to have completed 400 lengths in November which is 10k!
If you've not got around to sponsoring me nows your chance, any small amount much appreciated 😘 xx

50 done & dusted!

Friday 21st Nov
Another 50 lengths swam today. I'm starting to get quite excited that I might actually crack this challenge ! Only 86 lengths left to swim before the end of November. To all who have sponsored me, thank you so much ❤️ but there's still time for anyone else considering it xx

Swim yourself dirty!!

Tuesday 18th Nov
Today was hard, and yes that is sweat on my face 🥵. 50 more lengths in the bag though and slowly getting towards the 10k !! Really hoping to get some more donations and reach that total as Dementia UK is such a worthy cause 🤞🙏 xx

42 more in the bag!

Monday 17th Nov
Swam another 42 lengths after work today. My total now stands at 174 leaving me with 226 lengths to find  over these next two weeks 🤪.   I'm not half way yet and I must admit I'm feeling tired 😴 but I'll keep on swimming 🏊‍♀️

Back to the 10k challenge!

Friday 14th Nov
Managed another 40 lengths today which I'm happy about after my recent bout of sickness and missing 2 swim opportunities.  Just means I have to swim my little legs off over the next 2 weeks 🏊‍♀️🥵🏊‍♀️

50 more added!

Friday 7th Nov
Managed another 50 lengths this afternoon to take my total for week 1 to 132.  Still 268 lengths to go to complete my challenge to swim 10k (400 lengths) by the end of November to raise essential funds for Dementia UK.....wish me luck!

40 more lengths 🥵

Tuesday 4th Nov
Another 40 lengths in the bag !  Found it slightly harder today after swimming 42 lengths yesterday but just kept going 🙂

First 42 in the bag!!

Monday 3rd Nov
Today I swam 42 lengths out of the 400 I need to complete this challenge 🏊‍♀️.  
It was hard work after having been in Marakesh for the last week and totally chilling out.  Still, a bit of effort should see me through 🤞
Please take a moment to sponsor me, the amount doesn't matter, it all counts in the end 🙂 thanks xx 

10k Swim challenge!

Thursday 23rd Oct
Hi everyone, I've set myself a challenge to swim 10k, thats 400 lengths, in the month of November to help raise funds for Dementia UK.  
I'm very lucky that currently no one in my immediate family suffers from Dementia, but that may not always be the case.  I might even get it somewhere in the future or you,  you never know, and wouldn't it be nice if they find a way to cure it or improve the management of it!  
If you can donate even just £1  it will make a difference .  Thank you 🏊‍♀️ xx
