On 1st February, I will be taking part in a 100x100m freestyle relay World Record attempt at Ponds Forge, Sheffield. The evnt has been organised by GB swimmer Lewis Coleman who has been inspired by his mum's battle with leukaemia.

The team of is made up of incredible Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champions, national and club swimmers and also people close to the cause.

The record currently stands at 1hour 37minutes 53seconds - an average of 58.7 seconds per swimmer! 

I'm swimming my leg of the relay in memory of my Grandfather who died of lymphoma. 

It's a great cause, please sponsor me!
