Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I'm taking on two of the biggest challenges of my life. I'm doing both the London Marathon and Swimathon. I'm relatively in shape and try and keep active, but these two challenges are something I would have never dreamed of doing.

The most difficult thing is that they are on consecutive weekends, and not one to take a challenge lightly I've decided that as part of my Swimathon challenge I'm going for the longest distance of 5K.

I work for Marie Curie and I'm honored to see first hand the amazing work they do every single day, caring for people with terminal illness and offering vital emotional support for their families. 

I'm aiming to raise £2000, so anything at all you can donate will be gratefully received.
