Ciao! I’ve been swimming a lot the last year and someone suggested a triathlon but I hate running. Then I found I can swim a mile in the lake in Hyde Park London for charity and I chose MS-UK to swim for because it’s a cause close to my heart, both personally and professionally.

Things were going swimmingly (pun intended) until recently, I could comfortably swim a mile in a pool and thought it was all grand, but then I needed brain surgery and the local pool closed for two months (honestly don’t know which has been harder 😂). Also it turns out I accidentally signed up for the 2 mile rather than 1 mile event, so it will be a challenge with a real chance of me drowning.

So I reach out to you to help with my goal of fundraising please. Even if you can only spare €1/£1/$1 that would be great. What does your money go to? Other than a small % charged by this page, it all goes to MS-UK and you can read below about how they use it. None of the money goes to silly things like a swimsuit or travel to London for me.

If you’re not in a position to donate right now, that’s ok, I’d still appreciate words of encouragement and if you could share the fundraising page with others. Conversely, if you’re currently financially flush, please consider donating more or even coming to London to support me and we can get a pint after!
Thank you so much in advance and please let me know if you have any questions.
