Anna Cade Smith is raising money for Leeds Hospitals Charity

Team: Frostbite challenge

Frostbite Challenge · 15 December 2022

Rob Burrow was an inspiration. Despite facing his own challenges, he was devoted to raising awareness and funds to help people living with MND in Leeds and their loved ones, until the end.

Story

We are supporting this amazing appeal because it will make a huge difference to people diagnosed with MND and their families.  The frostbite challenge involves at least 12 open water swims in lakes and rivers and the sea between November and the end of February.  Now the cold is biting it is indeed a challenge.  And we undertake the challenge with sadness too as my dad - Ella's grandad- died this year suffering from MND.  So we swim and fundraise in his memory also.

However cold the water the discomfort is short lived - and is followed by the joy of warming up again...the bliss of hot tea and the fabulous warmth of friendship.  Hopefully we will also be helping the Appeal in the process!.   

Thank you for your help.
