Story

Thanks for visiting my page.

On 27 June I will be taking on the challenge to swim 1.4 miles from Boscombe Pier to Bournemouth Pier for British Heart Foundation. It is a charity very close to my heart as it supports a close family member. Thank you to Penny for inspiring me to take on this challenge. Anyone who knows me will know that this really is a humongous challenge. I have put in lots of hours of swimming so I hope it all pays off on day! (I have never swam in the sea so it will be interesting).

BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives.

It's only thanks to support from people like us that BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target.

Thank you so much for your support.
