I am completing a half marathon swim (5k in total) with Marathon Swims at the Olympic Park on the 10th November 2019- for me this is terrifying, although I enjoy swimming at my own pace, swimming lengths in the olympic pool is quite a scary prospect- but its all for a wonderful cause.

I am raising money for St Johns Hospice, Moggerhanger. My dad Barry was diagnosed with cancer in 2016 and lost his battle on the 14th November 2017. The kindness and care that St Johns Hospice showed my dad and family in the final 3 weeks of his life while he stayed at St John’s was incredible.

It costs £500 per patient per day for hospice care and they are reliant on fundrasing and donations. The strength these people show in supporting people at the end of their lives day in and day out, while remaining positive and understanding is simply remarkable.

Any donations are greatly appreciated!
