Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As well as goalball (and football of course – come on you blues!) the other sport that I love is triathlon. Together with friends, I regularly take part in events all around the country but unfortunately everything we had planned to do in 2020 has been cancelled. The 2.6 challenge therefore provides a great opportunity for us to get our ‘competitive fix’ whilst raising some much needed money for Goalball UK.

During lockdown we have thankfully all still been able to go out cycling and running individually, but our usual group swim training sessions have been replaced by Zoom quizzes which, although fun, are not the same!

So, as soon as it is possible to do so, we have set ourselves the challenge of collectively swimming a marathon (which equals 26.2 miles which equals 42km which equals 1680 lengths of a 25m swimming pool) quicker than a marathon has ever been run (i.e. under 2 hours)!

I'm hoping that 260 people will be kind enough to sponsor me £2.60 each so that I can raise £676 to help Goalball UK continue with their fantastic work.
