During the Covid-19 lockdown I have been inspired by all the amazing people raising money for the NHS and I wanted to think of something that I could do to help as well. I love swimming and my ambition is to swim the Channel one day so I decided to spend my pocket money and savings on buying a big paddling pool and I am going to attempt to swim the distance in there! (My Mum has worked out that it would be about 33,796 strokes so that it what I’m aiming for!) ...... I have got off to a great start and have already swum 4500 strokes so I am on my way, but there is still a long way to go! Knowing that I am doing this for the Royal Surrey NHS staff is keeping me going. Please support me if you can. Thank you so much, Connie (age 10).
