Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

As some of you probably know by now, I have somewhat crazily decided to swim the equivalent length of Lake Windermere (10.5 miles) in a swimming pool on Saturday 27th September!

I appreciate that it won't be the most exciting of swims (I will be swimming  840 lengths of my local 20 metre pool) but there is a reason for me swimming roughly 5 and a half hours; I am raising money for The Duchess of Kent House (hospice) who looked after a friend of mine's brother before he died.

The Duchess of Kent House provides specialist palliative care services in Reading.  The unit treats adult patients with cancer and other life-shortening diseases, at no charge according to need. The hospice provides out-patient, in-patient and day therapy services, which includes respite care and symptom control.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Duchess Of Kent House Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.
