This July I’m taking on one of the UK’s most iconic open water swims, the 'London Marathon' of swimming, the first and finest marathon-distance swim in the river Dart. The Dart10k.

It’s a huge physical and mental challenge, and one that I am very grateful to be able to undertake for such a worthy cause.

I’m taking part to raise money for Level Water – a brilliant charity providing 1-to-1 swimming lessons for children with disabilities. These lessons are joyful, empowering, and completely life-changing.

Your support gives a child the chance to learn to swim.

If you can, please sponsor me – it really will make a difference.
