Outdoor Swims, Climbs & a Trek. · 14 November 2014

Sense is here to support disabled people from the first weeks of life through all the major milestones of adulthood. Over 70 years, we’ve built extensive knowledge and expertise in supporting disabled people with complex needs, including deafblind people.

Story

I have been doing a series of challenges throughout 2014, to support the amazing work that Sense does.

At 4am on Sunday 29th June in TOTAL DARKNESS. I swam 2.2km upstream in the Thames, in what is known as the "black ink" swim.

I swam in these difficult conditions, without being able to see, to raise awareness for the deafblind community that SENSE supports.

I then completed the 4 peaks challenge in The Lake District in September, climbing all 4 peaks over 3,000 ft in two days, with my great friend, Mark Tracey.  

I am swim 1500m in the sea off the Coast of Dorset in September.

I'm now rounding it off with a 100km trek in Cuba, over 6 days in November, with over 20 other SENSE supporters.

Why?

Simply put, to raise money for SENSE.

It is an incredible charity that I work with and know well.

I can therefore vouch for the incredible difference SENSE makes to deafblind people and the tireless work the talented team at SENSE does.

I know that every penny helps.
