Lake Orta 4.5km Swim · 19 June 2018

At least 2 million children in the UK are struggling to talk and understand words.  We give children and young people the skills they need so they aren't left behind. We do this by creating tools for schools and nurseries, giving advice and guidance to families and putting pressure on politicians.

Story

I am planning to complete the Lake Orta 4.5km swim race in support of ICAN, the charity I have been a trustee of for some time (so I know what a great charity it is). If I finish it will be the longest open water swim I have done.

More than half the children in some parts of the UK start school with a communication difficulty and are likely to struggle with talking, understanding, learning and making friends. I CAN is a UK charity supporting children so that they have the communication skills they need. Its mission is that no child should be left out or left behind because of a difficulty speaking or understanding. You can support that mission today!
