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!

Final swim
Sunday 30th Nov What a fabulous day to complete my 15km. 10.5⁰C in the water, about 6⁰C on land. Beautiful blue skies. Share
Frustrated!
Thursday 27th NovHad planned to complete my 15km yesterday since I’m working all weekend but when I arrived at the beach it was a _lot_ choppier than I was expecting from the forecast. Started my swim and felt the chill straightaway thanks to a very chilly wind and it was hard going. My trace shows how I was going sideways as much as forward!
But halfway through the swim choppy became _rough_, I was swallowing water every time I tried to breath because the wave break pattern was so unpredictable. It felt like it was building to storm conditions. It was also getting dark early. So I had to bale out.
I had 1396m to go and I’d done 1435m on Monday so I’d felt confident I could do similar yesterday, but the sea can be fickle, and it just wasn’t to be… I have 504m left, I will need to try to squeeze that in after work on Sunday but I hate leaving it so close to the wire!

My dad at 54 developed alzheimers. He lived for 12 years. The last 5 years was cruel. And unfair. It's a sad cruel and vicious disease. Well done for your efforts. My donation is based on a MT session that I can't make
