My Story

This might be classed as a mid-life crisis, but as I have a significant birthday coming up, I wanted to do something to challenge myself and raise some money for a good cause at the same time. I've always loved swimming, although have got out of the habit over the past 10 years. When I spotted this event, and clocked that it finished on my birthday itself, I knew it was the challenge I was going to attempt!

So, this summer I will be taking on the Swim Marathon (yep, literally swimming a marathon, but over 12 weeks) to help raise funds for the 1 in 10 people who don't have clean water close to home. 

Clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene should be a normal part of everyone's daily life. Without all three, people can't live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty and change their lives for good.

Wish me luck!
