I'm swimming for Dementia UK

I'm taking on a 30-Day Swimming Challenge and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!

Daily swims

Wednesday 17th Jun
When I set myself this challenge… I wasn’t sure if I would be-able to do it.  I’ve set aside lots of negative thoughts I had  about why I didn’t like swimming and just got on with the task. What has surprised me is how much I’m enjoying it, not feeling too self conscious and what I do love is how well it’s making me feel.  Thankyou to everyone who has sponsored me. X 

12k swim challenge

Saturday 13th Jun
This week, I started the swim 12k challenge. I’m 
really  please that it’s gone well, I’ve managed to complete my first week and swam 165 lengths which equals 4125m. I’m hoping next week goes well too.

Well this week, I’ve started my 12k swim challenge to raise money for Dementia UK. So many families seem to be affected by this, with little known about it or why it happens. 
This week, my morning swims have been going well and it’s definitely the motivation I needed to get in the water . It’s the first time doing something like this and I was inspired by others. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
