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!

Saturday 15th
Saturday 15th Nov Swam 40 lengths x 25 today. I must admit I’m getting tired yet also excited because the end is in sight! Two more swims to go and I will have swum 10K!!!! Outside!!!
Nearly there!
Friday 14th Nov Today I swam 54 lengths of the outside pool x25 mtrs. Never swum so much before but it was such a beautiful day! I’m now 21st on the leaderboard which makes me feel happy out of over 600 people.! I’m feeling really proud of myself. Only 3 more swims and I’ve smashed it just into the second week out of 4 weeks! My son would like me to continue so maybe I’ll continue 3 x a week but only outside as it’s so refreshing and great for my mental health. I’m now beginning to taste my success and I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I wish this could help my sister in some way! Share
Yesterday
Wednesday 12th Nov Yesterday I swam 50 lengths outside in the 25mts pool. I’ve never swum that much before in all my years of swimming in that pool! Today my muscles are aching! I don’t think I’ll do that many again! Now I just need to be consistent and finish the task in hand. Seriously, I’ve been very spurred on by my family and friends. But each time I begin and count ONE length, it does seem like a mammoth task!!! I think this is up there with travelling to Everest Base Camp and travelling to Tibet, meeting the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala in Northern India and driving into Buckingham Palacr 😃😃😃 Share
Almost half way
Monday 10th Nov I’ve almost swum halfway through, and it’s only the very beginning of the second week! I really am smashing this. Plus people have been so very generous which has really spurred me on …raising money for this hideous disease yet wonderful cause . It robs people of their dignity, it’s so cruel for a person to be so confused, it robs the family of that person they know and love , and confuses them too! So painful to witness. For some too painful *to * witness. Good days and bad days. Swimming for me is a wonderful vehicle for my upset and always has been ,so I’m grateful for this opportunity! However, 10K is some challenge 😃 Share
Pushing on!!!
Saturday 8th Nov Another 40 x 25 lengths today outside! Smashing it for my Sister Sue!!! Share
