2026 November Swim Challenge

Help me reach my goal of £1,000

I'm taking part in the November Swim Challenge

This November, I’m taking on a personal challenge to raise money for Dementia UK, a cause that is incredibly close to my heart.

I’ve committed to swimming 5,000 metres throughout November, but I’m determined to go even further and swim as much as I can to help make a difference.

Sadly, someone incredibly precious to me has been diagnosed with dementia, and watching someone you love go through such a heartbreaking disease is something you can’t ever imagine is possible with how the disease changes that person you love so much. Dementia doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed; it impacts their family, friends and everyone who loves them, too.

Dementia UK provides vital support through its specialist Admiral Nurses, helping families navigate what can be an incredibly difficult journey.

If you’re able to donate or share my fundraising page, I would really appreciate the support as no donation is too small, however it will make a huge difference.

Thank you for supporting me and this very special cause as I couldn’t do it without you 💙

I’ve done it!! 🥹💙

Thursday 5th Nov
I’ve officially exceeded my 5,000 metres for Dementia UK in just 3 days and in just under 2 hours and 30 minutes! 😭 I originally set myself the goal of completing my 5,000 metres within 5 days and in a maximum of 4 hours, so to have exceeded my target makes me feel so proud because of how much this challenge means to me 🥹💙, but I’m not stopping there, I’m going to keep swimming and see just how many more metres I can add to what I’ve already achieved! 🥰 A huuuuuuuuge thank you to everyone who has already donated, shared my fundraising page and shown me so much love and support, it genuinely means more to me than I could ever put into words 🥹💙
