swimming 250 lengths of 25m pool in one session · 12 July 2023

Losing your sight can be really frightening. Berkshire Vision provide vital emotional and practical support, and adapted sports and activities to over 1500 blind and visually impaired children and adults in Berkshire. We help reduce loneliness and isolation and build confidence and independence.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My son, Chris, has cone dystrophy, a rare form of macular degeneration and he's taking on the challenge by walking 250km. Please read his blog here: https://berkshirevision.org.uk/general/blind-man-with-a-backpack-take-on-250-challenge-blog/

So I decided to take on the 250 Challenge as well, and on Wednesday July 12th I'm going to swim 250 lengths of Bradfield Sports Centre 25m pool during their 3 hour Early-bird swimming session!

The money raised will go to Berkshire Vision. Chris is one of their Members and they are committed to supporting visually impaired individuals across Berkshire, enhancing their Members’ lives and raising awareness of sight loss.
