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!

Here’s the link for donations. Thank you so much not just for the donations but the messages too. Big love ~Hodge 💚

15K reached 🏅

Monday 24th Nov

So after work today I completed another 56 lengths to reach the 15k goal. 🤩

I did an extra few lengths too just to wind down.

Super happy to have reached the 15k challenge target when I initially only signed up for 5k 🍾

Thank you all so much for your support and donations.

If we get to raise £1000 I shall do a cold water dip/swim before the end of November 🥶

Tough morning 🥶

Friday 21st Nov

After reaching the 5K target last weekend I have been overwhelmed by the amount of support and donations - these have spured me on to go further.

I went for a swim Monday evening after work. Then went to Stafford to the Sun Aqua club for the first time in ages on Wednesday evening which was lovely to see the gang.

Yesterday and today I’ve got up and braved the morning frost and the minus 3 degrees C temp and got two good swims in - yesterday 2.9k and today 2.5k so my total distance is now 13.6k!

Thank you all so very much - My body is not used to this and I feel a little broken but I will carry on and see where we get to 💛Hodge

Target done in one week!

Saturday 15th Nov

So I managed a second swim today and did another 44 lengths taking my total distance to date to 5.5k

I wore my swim cap for the second swim and had certain people very much in my thoughts as I hit the 30 lengths needed to reach my target.

Any donations are greatfully appreciated and I shall carry on to see what distance I can reach by the end of November 💛

First swim of the weekend

Saturday 15th Nov

An early start today. I’d only got 2K left of my challenge so just 80 lengths. The goal this morning was 40 lengths but got 50 done in under 40mins. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have reached my 5 K target. 🤞🏻 thank you all so very much for your lovely messages of support and your donations 💛

Over half way.

Thursday 13th Nov

Finally started the main challenge this week. Headed back to Newport pool for the first time since 2018! I can now touch the bottom at the deep end which seems crazy.

I was happy to get over half a mile in on Monday evening - great start made.

This morning I travelled in the dark back to the pool and clocked up over 1.25 miles so now over half way on my initial distance challenge.

All support is greatly appreciated 💚Hodge
