Hi All,

I am squeezing myself into neoprene and stylish hat to complete a frankly barking challenge that those who know me (or have ever laid eyes on me) will find truly hilarious!

On the 22nd of June I will be taking part in the 2024 "Chill-swim: Coniston" aka the Coniston Water End to End Swim. A 5.25 Mile (8.5 KM) open water swim to raise money for a special cause that is very close to my heart.

When my son Harry was born he was quite poorly and was looked after by the wonderful neonatal staff at the Special Care Baby Unit at our local hospital. A staggering one in every seven babies born in the UK will need specialist care when they are born.

Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick and they help 90,000 babies needing neonatal care each year. They rely on donations to fund their work, and without help they won't be able complete this amazing work.

Your donation to my page will help Bliss to drive improvements in neonatal care, to ensure that the needs of babies born premature or sick and their families are always supported.

Thank you.
