I'm swimming 120km from Jan to Dec 2024 to raise funds for the Meniere’s Society. Please donate generously.

As some of you know, I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in 2015.

Ménière’s is a chronic disease affecting the inner ear, causing ever-changing tinnitus, various degrees of hearing loss, and disabling vertigo episodes. It’s not curable (yet), and don’t bother investigating the causes, as you won’t get much.

I'm fortunate enough to have stabilized it after a couple of years, even if that involves following an annoying no-salt diet, which doesn’t make me the easiest lunch or dinner guest. (Thank you all for your patience!)

I've decided to challenge my 2023 record of 100km and complete a 120km swim from January to December 2024 to support the Meniere’s Society.

I know it’s no Michael Phelps, but I can guarantee it takes a lot of consistency…

The Ménière’s Society is the only registered charity in the UK dedicated solely to supporting people affected by dizziness and balance problems caused by vestibular disorders.

They will use the funds to:

- Support people affected by vestibular disorders.

- Fund essential research projects into the cause, treatment, and management of these life-changing conditions.

You can find out more about the charity and how they spend funds raised on their website: Meniere's Society.

I will post here monthly updates to keep track of my progress towards my 120km goal.
