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.

I love swimming but this one will be a real challenge and by far the longest swim I have done in a River! The equivalent of swimming from Wandsworth Bridge in West London (where I live) to Blackfriars Bridge in the City!

Big nature, beautiful scenery, and hundreds of swimmers all taking on something epic together.

I’m doing it 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.
