Hello,

I have decided to attempt for  my first open water swim for British Heart Foundation as a preparation for much longer swim in the future for different charity (watch the space).

My story started when I was 10 years old and nearly drowned in my local lake. Despite my parents attempts to send me to swim classes, I never really figured it out and always sank rather than floated. But now being all grown up, i have decided to face my fears and learn how to swim. Its not an easy sport and requires lots of your time, patience and learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable...and also getting your hair wet all the time! People close to me know that when I decide on something I do everything I need to succeed.

So please help me to reach my small target of £150 for British Heart Foundation. Thank you so much!
