Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am swimming 10K in the month of January 2026. This is 400 lengths of my 25 meter pool at the gym and I plan to swim 100 lengths a week. This is made more challenging by the fact that I am currently having swimming lessons to learn how to swim the front crawl (due to a knee injury I can no longer swim breast stroke). I will be swimming this 10K using front crawl only.

I am raising donations for this wonderful charity, which is run by a couple - June and Chris, who work tremendously hard to bring these cafes to people with dementia/alzheimers. They do this many times a week, on weekends, bank holidays and even open on Christmas Day. One of their clients is my mum, who was diagnosed with Alzheimers about five years ago. These cafes are a lifeline for both her and us. I have been planning to raise much needed money for them for a while, and felt this would be the perfect challenge.
