Hello! Thank you for visiting my page.

I’ll be donning my swim trunks - definitely not budgie smugglers 🩲, though there will be no photo evidence so you will never know - to conquer a 5k swim. Obviously, the swimming prowess part is the elephant (or dolphin) in the room – having not swum much since my school days. The swim will take place at my local indoor swimming pool at the end of April.

It is all for a noble cause🌟 I’m raising funds for Cancer Research UK and Marie Curie. Every stroke I take, every splash I make, contributes to their lifesaving work. 💙💛. Stats like 1 in 2 of us will get cancer are scary, and keep me swimming through cramping calves. I will also be fueled by the promise of your generous donations. 🙏

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your generosity fuels hope, research and compassionate care and together we'll create ripples of impact!.
