Hello! I'm Robin, and this May I'm swimming 6 miles to raise money for Mermaids, a charity that helps trans young people and their families.

Why 6 miles? 6 miles breaks down to swimming around 3 times a week, doing 32 laps per swim in my local pool (25m). Just seems like a manageable amount, while also being a good challenge!

This money will go towards ensuring trans young people and their families can continue to access the emotional, informative, and peer-to-peer support they deserve. Mermaids' vision is a safe, inclusive society where trans young people are empowered to live their best lives.

I've set the goal for £500 but I'd love to exceed it!
