Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page and supporting a cause that is close to my heart.

I am happy to announce that I broke my previous record and swam 152 x 25 metres lengths (2.5 miles) on November 5th and another 9 swimmers supported me by swimming 20 - 100 lengths in various swimming pools around the South of England.

Our families and friends have been wonderfully generous in their support and sponsorship and so have other donors whom we don't know.

( Our total raised is £3,860 including Gift Aid) Thank you so much everyone.)

The need for support has never been greater. The people of Ukraine are facing immense challenges, and every contribution can help provide essential resources and hope to those in need. By donating, you are joining a community dedicated to bringing positive change and showing solidarity with those who are struggling.

Your generous donations have gone directly to the charity, NFFU,(who are non political,) ensuring that every penny counts towards making a real impact. Together, we can create ripples of change that extend far beyond the water I will swim through. Please consider contributing today and be part of this inspiring journey.

Thank you everyone, yet again.

It's been a chance to "do our small bit" for Ukrainian families including babies.

Hundreds of "baby packs" are sent out as well as portable stoves with gas, generators and tonnes of warm clothing, medical aids and supplies etc etc.

No one gets paid at New Forest For Ukraine. The volunteers are hard working, friendly, smiling people. They lift your heart.
