Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm raising money for Compton Hospice. I'm going to be swimming 1 mile a day for 60 days. This is my first ever fundraiser, and I'm doing it for my late father who sadly passed this January. Every year he would raise money for certain charities so I'm doing it for him this year. He wasn't the strongest of swimmers but I know it was on his to do list to learn to swim so it's quiet fitting that challenge I've chosen is a swimming one!

I have chosen Compton Hospice for many reasons. You may know that my father "Big Phil" spent his last remaining days there. They were so good to him and the staff were so caring, not only to him but the 10 strong squad we had in there for 48hours. So the charity has a strong place in our hearts. If the money I raise can go to helping someone's else's parent or grandparents last days then I will be happy. Most of the staff are volunteer's so its very much needed.

I have recently started swimming as a get fit exercise so I may as well kill to birds with one stone as they say. My training has already started. I'm looking to be doing between 3-5 mile a week for the next few weeks, mixing from front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke.

Thanks in advance. "Little Phil"
