Story

Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page!

This year I’m taking on the Neptune Challenge — swimming 1,500m every hour, for 12 hours straight. It’s definitely going to push me out of my comfort zone, so I thought I’d use the challenge as an opportunity to raise money for a brilliant cause, Great Western Air Ambulance Charity.

As Bishop Fleming’s charity of the year in Bristol, this feels like the perfect chance to kick off the fundraising efforts. Any support — whether that’s donations, shares, or words of encouragement — would mean a lot. Thanks for helping me get through the last few weeks of training!
