Hey everyone (:

I have decided to take a challenge of swimming the length of the English Channel in a 2 week period which is a total of 1416 lengths (22 miles)! This is 708 miles a week at Kingsmead Leisure Centre in Canterbury! I will be starting this challenge at the end of May 2013 after my law final exams. I know this challenge is pretty crazy and definitely going to tough but I will definitely KEEP SWIMMING :D

I have decided to do this in aid of the Kent Law Campaign. I have been the Chair of the Kent Law Campaign Student Group this academic year and have decided to leave the University on a splash through raising money for the cause.

The Kent Law Campaign  is a £5million fundraising project to build a new home for the Kent Law Clinic which provides free legal advice and representation to those who need but cannot afford access to legal services and the University's Mooting Programme. For more information about this Campaign visit the University's website. It is a fantastic cause and I urge you to support it. It is an absolutely fantastic cause and will benefit students and the community greatly. I have been involved in the Kent Law Clinic and the mooting programmes throughout my time at Kent and these experiences have enhanced my passion for pursing a legal career.

I am definitely not a natural speed or stamina swimmer! I was a synchronised swimming, training continuously, however, I retired formily in 2009 and swam for Masters Championships back with my old team in 2012. When I first went training in January 25 lengths was a struggle! This will most definitely be a huge personal challenge for me!!

I would be most grateful if you would sponsor me to take on this challenge - I need all the support I can get! The University will match each donation you make pound for pound including gift aid which will really help the Campaign.

 

All donations you make through this page will be given to the Kent Law Campaign.

 

Thank you ever so much,

Campaign Love,
