Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In late 2017, having quickly finished several swim challenges, I looked for the longest challenge I could find and my 2085 mile Atlantic swim was born!

I decided to use the swim to raise money for an amazing Norfolk based charity, Hebron Trust, where I have had the privilege of being a Trustee.

Hebron Trust has been working to support vulnerable women for over 30 years and has helped over 500 women during that time. Our supported housing capability (currently 14 beds in 4 houses) provides vulnerable women with accommodation and, equally as importantly, assistance to provide sustainable independence and to help each woman rebuild her life such that she feels valued, able to plan her future and regain a sense of purpose.

With 90 miles to go I anticipate finishing my swim in early 2024 and hope to raise as much money as possible knowing that it will be used to allow even more women to join those who have already returned to play a useful role in society.
