This September, my sister Jimmy and I are diving into the ultimate island-hopping adventure: the Scilly Swim Challenge 2026. This event will push us to our limits as we journey 15 kilometres around the stunning archipelago—conquering five open-water swims, interspersed with walks across the rugged landscapes of each island to reach the next launch point.

🎗️ Why We Are Swimming: The Josh Davies Foundation

We are pushing our physical boundaries to raise vital funds for the Josh Davies Foundation. Every stroke we take in the Atlantic is driven by our desire to support their incredible work in creating life-changing opportunities for young people.

The foundation helps young individuals build the resilience and confidence they need to shape their own futures. They do this by funding incredible grassroots initiatives, including Street League and Greenhouse Sports (using sports mentoring to tackle poverty), The Rhythm Studio (music scholarships), First Story (creative writing residential camps), and Raleigh International (leadership bursaries).
