"Brave the Waves"

Jurassic's Mad Challenge.

"On behalf of BVLD's charity - Eden Valley & Jigsaw Children's Hospice

10 swims. 10 beaches. 1 day. Freezing for a reason - Help the Kids.

On the 4th of February 2026 - World Cancer Day - I'll be undertaking something completely out of my comfort zone, something physically and mentally demanding, and something that means a great deal to me and my Bearded Villains chapter BV Lake District"

"I'll be attempting to complete 10 swims at 10 different beaches along a 48-mile stretch of the North East coastline - all in a single day!

The North East is known for its beauty, but in February it's also known for its freezing waters, harsh winds, and brutal conditions.

But that's exactly why I'm doing it."

"All donations will go directly to Eden Valley & Jigsaw Children's Hospice, an incredible charity that supports children and adults with life-limiting illnesses, and provides essential care. comfort. and dignity to them and their families. A charity close to BVLD's heart.

The work they do is life-changing. The support they offer is priceless. And their services depend heavily on fundraising."

Why This Matters:

"While my challenge will last one day, many children and families live through challenges far tougher - every single day If swimming through icy water can help raise even a fraction of what Jigsaw needs to keep providing care, then every cold wave will be worth it."

"Please donate whatever you can. Every pound makes a real difference Every share helps spread the word. And every bit of support will push me through the cold, the fatigue, and the miles ahead."

Follow the Journey:

"I'll be going live on Instagram throughout the day, so keep an eye out for updates, laughs, struggles, and the full madness of the challenge as it happens."
