Soo the time is drawing nearer.... On September the 14th I will be attempting the gruelling task of swimming 22 miles open water from Dover to Calais, which is the equivalent of swimming about 1400 lengthsof a normal swimming pool. I will only be wearing a swimming costume and it is likely to take around 16hours! I am not allowed to stop or even touch the boat, and feeding is done treading water.

I chose this crazy challenge a year and a half ago. I was in Nice supporting friends who were completing an iron man triathlon...they had me in awe. It was seeing my friends crossing the finish line after hours of intense training that made me realise I could be doing something amazing like them.

5years ago my dad suffered a heart attack he had major surgery, triple heart by pass, replaced valve and an aneurism removed. He spent a few years on the road to recovery and since has been given the all clear! Without the help of heart research and hospitals there is no way my dad would have survived! He is an amazing fighter and I want to prove I am too! Sadly, very recently his sister has also undergone major heart surgery and has started her road to recovery too. It has bought back the feelings of fight and determination back and reminds me why I am doing this intense challenge...to raise money for British Heart Foundation to save more lives!

Thanks for your support! :D
