My story

 

I DID IT!!!! On Saturday 12th September I swam a mile in Lake Winderemere to raise money for TOFS. I managed to complete it in 32 mins and 4 seconds - which I'm super happy about. Please help me raise even more money!!

TOFS is a registered, UK-based charity dedicated to providing emotional support to families of children born with Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula, Oesophageal Atresia and associated conditions

My friends Dan and Jody had a beautiful baby girl in November 2008, when Daisy was born they were told she had a rare condition Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF), which meant her wind pipe and food pipes were not formed properly. This led to Daisy having to have a number of operations very early on in her life. TOFS provided invaluable support to Dan, Jody and family at a time when they needed it most and I know they will continue to support the charity and raise money where possible to say thank you for all their help.

So thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Anything you give will be greatly received and you never know might give me the determination to do those last few metres of the swim.
