Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just giving page.

This has been a challenge that I have had on my bucket list for a while swim from one end of a lake to the other rather than swimming round and round.   5.25 miles is more than I have ever swam before and it will be a min of 3 hours hopefully no  more than 4  in the cold water, so the challenge warrants some encouragement an incentive to ensure I don't give up. 

Why SMA?     a few years ago friends of ours had a beautiful miracle called Charlotte she had this condition,  there bravery, commitment and courage in nursing and loving her touched every part of me and I want to do something to acknowledge this.   if you know me once I have started then stopping would never be an option but if you can donate a small amount towards research and also assisting more amazing brave parents please do, this will make the swim worth while. 

The Lake is 5.25miles long  I will always be 50m from the side so giving up will never really be an option,  there will be no putting my feet down as it averages 24.1 metres deep. this is going to take some long cold water swims on sunday mornings so please give a little to keep me going.
