I wanted to do something for charity this year. My mum has type 2 diabetes, I love swimming - so this seemed like the ideal challenge! 

I'm swimming 22 miles (that's 1,416 lengths of my local pool) from 22 February over 12 weeks - I may not love swimming so much by the time I'm finished!

Any donation is welcome - it's going to a great cause!  Thank you so much!

Diabetes UK is the charity leading the fight against the most devastating and fastest growing health crisis of our time, creating a world where diabetes can do no harm. Its a fight that involves all of us sharing knowledge and taking diabetes on together.
