My awesome son Alfie amazes & inspires me each & every day. His determination to succeed & achieve is truely humbling.
Those who knew me many moons ago will remember I used to do rather a lot of swimming. Since Alfie has been at nursery I've been able to resume this much loved & missed hobby.
Through the wonders of technology I'm able to do virtual swim distance challenges whereby my swim sessions are logged onto my app & chart my progress.
I've already completed swimming Loch Ness (22.6 miles)
Today (7.12.16) I started my 2nd virtual swim distance challenge of swimming the English Channel (25.5 miles / 41,055m).
This time I'd like to use this challenge as a way of raising funds for Shropshire Downs Syndrome Support Group (SDSSG), where Alfie & I have made some amazing friends.
As I swim whilst Alfie is at nursery I'm only able to swim 3 days a week, completing 50 lengths each day.
The pool I swim in is 25m so therefore I do 3,750m a week.
With my total distance being 41,055m (25.5 miles) I estimate that it should take me 11wks (with Xmas excluded) to complete. It may take me a while to complete but just as with Alfie, it's not a question of if I will achieve my goal, but when 😊
It would be amazing if you could sponsor me so Alfie & his fellow awesome pals at SDSSG have additional funds to continue supporting existing & new families.
Alfie & I would like to thank you all in advance for your generosity x
