We are swimming 30+ miles up one of the most beautiful parts of the Welsh Coastline - from Newport Beach, Pembrokeshire to New Quay, Ceredigion!

We are aiming to raise £15,000.  This will pay for an iPad for every child on the Rainbow Ward at The Children's Hospital for Wales, Cardiff, for 1 year.  This is especially important during the current COVID-19 pandemic so children can keep in contact with loved ones. The Rainbow Ward is the Unit for children with cancer and leukaemia up to the age of 13 at the hospital.

As you can imagine the iPad also provides the children with endless hours of entertainment and is invaluable in keeping up to date with school work and extra-curricular activities.

Along the way Teddy and I will bring you sightings of the most stunning coastline and wildlife Wales has to offer.....including Europe's largest population of Bottlenose Dolphins, Atlantic Grey Seals, Jellyfish, Puffins, Gannets and more!

The swim will be in 6 stages over the summer totalling 30+ miles.

Some of the sights will include the famous Witches Cauldron near Ceibwr Bay, the River Teifi including the beautiful coastline at Gwbert, the jaw-dropping beaches of Mwnt, Aberporth, Penbryn, Llangrannog, New Quay.........and some secret spots too ;-) !!! 

We will have a live tracker and will post video updates along the way.

So please follow us on this amazing journey, and we'd be very grateful for any donation you can give for this truly inspiring cause.  Thank you!
