Hi. It's Me, Ali.

I'm swimming The Serpentine Open Swim in September 2017. It's a one mile open swim and I thought it would be a great opportunity to raise some money for my charity of choice that helps very young children who are disadvantaged in life through illness. I've raised a few quid for these guys already but I thought that I should do a bit more this year and set myself a goal.

Swimming was a huge part of my life growing up and as such I reached county standard with the help of my Dad. I suppose a big part of this endevour is also a nod of pride back to him and all the effort and encouragement he put into me and my swimming years ago.

Please either spread the word as I would love to bust over £1k for the kids or if you are able to spare time and money then maybe consider donating to my cause.

Wish me luck.

Ali
