Hellooooo,

Well I have decided to challenge myself with something new... a bloomin open water swim! This is such a challenge for me. When I was younger, I had an incident in the water at the swimming baths, which made me unbelievably terrified of any water, especially if I could not stand up in it. Go forward some years, and in my mid-twenties, I took the plunge and signed up for adult swimming lessons. Go forward another number of years, and here I am, pushing myself completely out of my comfort zone to do something for me and a charity I love.

As most people are aware I am so passionate about mental health, I am unbelievably open and honest about my own and I am super lucky I have people around me that 'get' me. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case for everyone, so this is where Lancashire Mind comes in. They support so many people around Lancashire in so many ways; they are a group of amazing people who are breaking down the stigma of what mental health is, talking about mental health, and supporting people to be comfortable with their own.

Money is tight for everyone at the minute so a squiddle le diddley would just be simply wonderful :)

Thank you for taking the time to read my page and know how much I am going to be bricking it but will also be super chuffed with my medal and funds I raise!
