Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Being a type 1 diabetic I'm fed up of injecting 4 times a day, checking my sugar levels regularly and having to carry large handbags containing needles, glucose meter reader, glucose tablets etc.
Now I'm nearly 40, I've got that feeling that I need to do 'something'.
So when I heard about Swim22 I thought that's the perfect challenge for me. I always nag the girls to go to their swim training and they say 'you don't know what it feels like swimming all the time'.
So...I'm going to find out!!!
I'm going to swim 22 miles (equivalent of the English Channel) in three months. Starting on the 22nd February, whilst raising money for Diabetes UK, to fund research, new techniques and the search for a cure. I'll also gain empathy with my girls for all the swimming they do and for myself as my only personal challenge in the year I turn 40!!!
