Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m raising funds for this charity for several reasons,

I’ve a few health issues that’ll will improve if i get fitter and drop some weight and i’ve opted to swim as part of that process. It’s getting cold and dark and the thought of getting up at the crack of dawn is going to really push on the motivation, so what better way than to link it with a great cause that’ll help those supporting families with loved ones suffering alzheimer’s and dementia.

I’m sure we all know families struggling with these awful debilitating conditions and whether it’s close to home or knowing friends and their loved ones experiencing similar, I hope we can raise a little to help through the charity. Your contributions will also greatly motivate me through these early autumn days to get in the pool ❤️
