My name is Keira I am 14 years old and was born with symbrachydactyly in my right hand. Symbrachydactyly is a congenital (present at birth) hand anomaly which affects a single upper limb. 

I have been a Reach member for sometime and I enjoy getting to talk to new people at the meet ups they organise. I wanted to raise some money again for this great charity.

I love swimming so wanted to do some sort of sponsored swim, so going with their  challenge theme of 5 I decided to swim : 

5- lengths butterfly 

10-lengths breaststroke 

15-lengths backstroke 

20-front crawl 

25- free style 

This will be a total of 75 lengths, I am going to try and swim this as fast as I can. I will complete this challenge at the end of August, any Sponsor money would be gratefully received. With many thanks
