2026 November Swim Challenge

Help me reach my goal of £400

I'm taking part in the November Swim Challenge

I’m taking part in the November Swim Challenge for Dementia UK, swimming 5k in the sea and topping up in the pool, due to weather and sea temperatures in Nov, raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support. This cruel disease affects, directly or indirectly, all of us in our lifetimes.

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

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored so far, wow, thank you x

Signed up and excited for the start

Friday 9th Oct
I'm going to attempt the challenge in the sea but will top up the meters in the pool if the sea temp drops too much. 
Dementia affects so many people and so many families. The  cruelest of diseases, you lose them before they pass. I had the honour of caring for dementia patients some time back and grew bonds with not only them but their families and have seen first hand the devastaion dementia brings, so this cause has a special place in my heart particularly as my own mother suffered near the end. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
