6.5km swim around Brownsea Island · 23 June 2024

Our Foundation works with grassroots charities and organisations that help older people to feel valued, connected and engaged with their community.

Story

I'm going to take on this huge and challenging 6.5km swim around Brownsea Island on 23rd June 2024 to raise money for the incredible McCarthy Stone Foundation.

The money raised will go directly to small charities and community groups that help older people who are isolated and lonely across the country.

It's the small community groups that often get forgotten about, and yet they make a huge difference to older people who might not meet others or get out of their house otherwise.

Every penny raised will be matched by McCarthy Stone - so it'll double the impact.

This swim will be furthest and the longest I've ever done. It'll take me at least 2hrs and I'm sure it'll be one of the hardest things I've ever done! Please sponsor me, even if it's just a pound or two. We'll all get old one day - and it's good to know there are charities out there making sure we, and our loved ones aren't forgotten about :)

Thank you!!
