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.
I've only recently started swimming regularly and my goal is to swim 5k in November with a stretch target to complete the 10k.
Amy amount you can spare would go towards helping a family dealing with dementia with practical solutions and emotional support.
Thank you!

Week 4 - phew, done it!
Wednesday 26th Nov It's been a bit of a slog but I got there. 10k stretch target smashed! And another mile in the bag today. I was spurred on by a fellow swimmer doing the same challenge today with her pink dementia hat on! Share
Week 2 - 5km target hit!
Friday 14th Nov Week 2 finished and I've reached my target of 5km! In fact, I've done just over 6km and my shoulders are feeling all of it. Can I reach 10k? I've not got many more swim opportunities in November but I'm going to give it a go! Share
Day One Nonsense
Monday 3rd Nov Day 1 of the challenge... forgot my swim pass, had to go back home, came back, got down to the pool... forgotten my goggles! Not a great start... still achieved 32 lengths with very stingy eyes. 800 metres in the bag! Thanks to all the new sponsors, I've upped my target to £500... any help appreciated however small.

Target smashed!
Tuesday 28th Oct Thanks so much to friends and family...£250 target smashed, can we hit £300 before November? Feeling motivated, not sure my shoulders would agree though! Share
