Swim22 2019
Campaign by Diabetes UK (RCN 215199)
Swim 22 miles, in 12 weeks in your local pool. Between 22 February and the 22 May swim the equivalent of the English Channel in your own time, at your own pace while getting sponsored for every length.

Story

Needed a new challenge for 2019. Bungee-jumping and sky-diving are not my thing (afraid of heights). Couldnt spare the time away to walk the Great Wall of China and that weak achilles heel would put paid to any attempt to do a run. That left the Swim 22 - something I thought I might actually be able to do. 22 miles sounded do-able but later I converted this to 1,416  pool lengths and then had second thoughts.   

Nevertheless i’m all signed up now so there’s no going back! Diabetes affects so many people and funding is critical to aid those affected and support further research. My plan is to do 100- 120 lengths a week for 12 weeks so here goes. 

Thank you for sponsoring me. Every little bit counts and will motivate me to keep going so just give what you feel you can spare. No pressure - i think donations start at £2 😊 x
