One day, Judi said should we do the Coniston swim? It’s just a matter of 5 miles from one end of the lake to the other. Sam said yes! What were we thinking! 

There’s no doubt this is a big challenge for both of us. We haven’t swum this distance before. But we are motivated to have a go. We will be swimming our hearts out to raise funds for the bereavement activity programmes delivered by Fitmums and Friends. 

In October 2020 my life was turned upside down with the loss of my best friend and husband, Mike - as a result of an incurable tumour.

Just six months after this happened, a little idea resulted in the start of  bereavement walks and yoga for grief sessions and subsequently the  Forest Project for bereaved children.

All of these programmes provide invaluable support for children and adults who are struggling with grief. Judi and I want to raise funds to help this support continue. 

We know this is a really difficult financial time for many people and so even the tiniest amount will still be really helpful. But please don’t worry if you can’t. Your moral support will be just as precious.
