Bridget swims the channel (in a pool) · 20 August 2015

We support Birmingham Children's Hospital to improve the lives of sick children

Story

I am going to swim 21 miles (1,400 lengths) over 7 days in less than a months time!

21 miles is the same distance as swimming from England to France... But I'll be doing it in  a swimming pool. (The channel would be too cold)

I will swim 21 miles, 3 miles a day for 7 days. Over the week that will be 1,400 lengths (well just under but I'll round it up for good measure)

Obviously I would've loved to have done the full 21 miles in one day, but work got in the way of that plan. 

As you well know I adore being an Aunty and want to help support the incredible care Birmingham Children's Hosptial provides for children and families during some of their toughest times. 

I chose 21 miles to commemorate the 21st anniversary of my company who has recently partnered with Birmingham Children's Hospital as a corporate charity partner.

About the charity

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital. We raise funds to enhance the experience of our patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child-friendly environment.
