Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support.

In August this year I’ll turn 30 years old so I will be swimming 30 miles between now and my birthday! I’ll be swimming in my local pool and I'll need to swim almost 2,700 lengths to complete this challenge so I hope you’ll support me in this.

I am taking on this challenge to raise funds for the BHF’s research into vascular dementia, a cruel condition which my gran lives with. Caring for my gran and seeing the impact of vascular dementia is distressing, causing a lot of frustration and sadness and I want to channel those feelings into this challenge, in the hope that the BHF’s research will help others living with or affected by vascular dementia now and in the future.
