I've raised £250 to continue the work of Blossom's Legacy which provides children with the skills to be able to swim from a very early age.
Organised by Nick Antrobus
Story
Two years ago, Blossom Iris Kelly went into the water, beginning a journey from which she would not return.
Within a few weeks, due to swim the Dart 10k, I wanted to lend support to our dear ADT Workplace colleague, Kris, Blossom's Dad, and his family. It was just too early.
Water can be brutal and safety is paramount
Against regular protocol, the organisers did allow me to draw a rather crude bleeding heart on my bright yellow safety cap and carry her memory carefully down the River.
The Kindness of Strangers
An unknown athlete learned of our cause on Social Media and donated his place to me.
This next swim is personal to me and ADT Workplace and I'm only approaching colleagues who can do whatever they choose to raise awareness and funds.
As September draws to a close I will take on the Hurley Burley. A 10k sea challenge in North Wales. Maintain a pace lower than 25 minutes per mile and the tide locks you out of the estuary
Blossoms Legacy will carry me along
