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!

Family swim
Sunday 8th Nov🏊♀️💙 Another 45 lengths done today! That’s 5.025 km of my 15 km Dementia UK challenge completed! 🙌
Today was a proper family effort with Colin, Ross, Franklin and Billy all coming along to support me. 🥹❤️
In true Jo fashion, I forgot my Apple Watch so had to borrow Colin’s… then realised I’d also forgotten the boys’ tracksuit bottoms, so the poor kids had to leave the swimming baths with towels wrapped around their waists! 🤣🙈
Making memories, embarrassing the children and raising money for a wonderful cause all at once! 😂💙
A third of the way there! 💪🏊♀️
50 down 550 to go!!
Tuesday 3rd Nov🏊♀️💙 FIRST SWIM DONE!! 50 LENGTHS!! 💙🏊♀️
And I’m not gonna lie, I’m actually so bloody proud of myself!! 🥹❤️
I normally struggle to do 20 lengths, so to push myself to do 50 today is a massive achievement for me! I already know I’m going to be aching like a bastard tomorrow 😂 but it’ll be worth it!
1.25km down, 13.75km to go! 💪
I’m under no illusion that this is going to be easy. Trying to fit swimming in around work, the kids and general life is going to be a challenge in itself, but I’m determined to do it!
I’m honestly so grateful to everyone who’s donated so far. Your kindness and generosity mean so much, and now you’ve all sponsored me I can’t bloody back out can I?! 😂❤️
I wanted to do this challenge in honour of Bill Mc. He was such a lovely gent, so funny, kind and full of character. Seeing how dementia affected him and the people who loved him has been absolutely heartbreaking. 💔
I know dementia has touched the lives of so many of you too, and seeing what it does not only to the person living with it, but to their families, is devastating. If doing my little bit can help support those families and the amazing work Dementia UK does, then every aching muscle will be worth it. 💙
So here’s to the next 550 lengths!! 🏊♀️
I’m determined to do this, and today I’ve proved to myself that I can push myself further than I thought!
Thank you all so, so much for supporting me. It really does mean the world. 🥰💙
This one’s for Bill
Monday 2nd Nov I saw this and wanted to get involved as I know how heartbreaking dementia can be not only for the person suffering but for the whole family it’s such a cruel diseaseThank you to my Sponsors
