Welcome to my Swim22 profile page for Diabetes UK.  I am planning to swim 44 miles over three months. That's a quick swim to France and Back, equivalent to 250 lengths a week, for the next 12 weeks.   

I work in the NHS with children & young people who live with Type 1 Diabetes. The only treatment for which is insulin therapy, either by multiple daily injections or an insulin pump. I know how challenging the condition this is to live with and how the kids struggle, day in day out,  but also how inspiring and resilient they are.  

So I am doing this to raise money for all the children and young people living with Diabetes, in hope that one day there will be a cure or a treatment so advanced, it has little to no burden on their quality of life.
