My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Mat, Chris and myself will be dusting off our goggles, donning our wetsuits and heading off across Lake Windermere (well a mile of it) as part of the Great North Swim in June. We're hoping to raise money in aid of Amy's House which provides special needs children the chance to play, laugh and learn with their siblings in a fun and friendly environment.
Amy’s House was set up by my parents after they experienced first hand the lack of facilities available for children and families dealing with special needs. My niece Molly had severe special needs and when her sister Amy died aged 8 from meningitis, they set up the Amy’s House charity in her memory to provide Molly and others with this much needed service. Sadly, we also lost Molly last year but both my beautiful nieces continue to inspire the wonderful work, and the wonderful people who support Amy’s House.
Amy’s House relies almost entirely on fundraising to allow a growing number of deserving families to be helped. Unlike many charities they are completely volunteer led and have no paid fundraisers so every penny raised goes directly to the charity and benefits the children.

Thank you.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. 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.

We came, we saw, we thought it looked a bit cold, we were wearing pink.......but we conquered anyway! All the money isn't in yet so keep popping back to this page to see what our grand total comes in at, and thanks for all your support. Check out the before and after pictures!
You may have heard that the Great North Swim got cancelled due to bad weather and dangerous conditions on the Lake. Well, to all those who have supported us, your support is not in vain! We've all registered for the Great Manchester Swim instead which takes place on 1st July!
Thanks to everyone who's supported us so far!
