Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Whilst under the influence of one too many proseccos I decided to sign up to swim the channel relay team with cosmic rays channel swim relay team.

Most of you that knows me well knows I really couldn’t swim 2 years back but after finding my new found love for the open water when a bestie asked me to join her 💕 there was no stopping me it feels amazing to be in the water I just love it.

I did two mini triathlons back in 2019 which led me to more training and learned  with York tri club to actually swim correctly then back to the open water when we was allowed in 2020. 

I’ve never swam in the sea 🌊 😬 plenty of lakes and the odd river swim but the sea will be a huge challenge to me and I can’t wait 😁 

Honestly can’t believe I made the team thank you cosmic I will do you proud! 

So looking forward to be able to swim the channel what a experience it will be 🌊💕🏊‍♀️

I would appreciate any donations you can spare. I realise 2020 has been an absolute stinker for everyone and pennies are tight,so anything anyone can spare will be greatly appreciated.  

The charity I am raising money for is COSMIC.

COSMIC supports the children’s and neonatal intensive care units at St Mary’s and Queen Charlotte’s Hospital by helping patients and their families and by enabling the dedicated team of doctors and nurses treat hundreds of babies and children each year in intensive care.

They go above and beyond what the NHS can’t afford by purchasing vital state of the art equipment; providing training for health professionals; funding a programme of ground-breaking research into life threatening diseases; and supporting families through one of the most difficult times in their life with one to one support, advice and accommodation for parents.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving  

Thank you so much any donations will be so appreciated,

 lots of love and well wishes
