This is a major challenge for me which will take a lot of my time, plenty of hard work and the need to push myself to overcome a few fears. 

I have never been very comfortable in open water and def would not go out of my depth, two things that cant be avoided on the 1^st September.

At the minute I am not close to being able to swim 500m, so swimming lessons are underway, and a routine sorted to get as much time in the water as possible.   1st lesson I couldn't manage 25m without stopping so a lot of hard work is required.

Autism NI is a charity that is close to my heart,  a team of special people doing amazing work.

My son Dylan has Asperger’s and I see the challenges he faces every day, being misunderstood by so many people.  

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and if you have any spare funds for some sponsorship it would really be appreciated.
