I am getting my incredibly unfit self into the pool and learning how to swim properly for the first time since childhood, to attempt my first open water race in Loch Lomond on 31st August...aaaaaaaah!

I am doing this to raise money for Staffie Smiles rescue a charity I volunteer for and is close to my heart.

Staffie Smiles Rescue is a completely unpaid volunteer-run, non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of bull breeds that find themselves in pounds across the UK through no fault of their own.

These resilient dogs have often endured unimaginable hardships at the hands of humans, yet they still possess an unwavering capacity for love and loyalty.

By supporting this cause, you can help change the world for these deserving animals, one dog at a time. Your contribution will make a meaningful impact by providing these dogs with a chance for a loving home and a brighter future.

Help me stay in the pool as I strive to raise awareness and support for these misunderstood breeds!
