Story

To raise vital funds for the benefit the League of Friends to the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital I am taking part in an open water swim event, the Mere Mile.The League of Friends give essential support for patients, relatives and staff by providing services, organising volunteers, funding equipment, issuing grants and being at the heart of wellbeing for RJAH. The pandemic has proved challenging for the charity and your support is needed now more than ever.Any donation, large or small, would be gratefully received. Together we can make a difference.

Last year Finn completed The Mere Mile. . This year he has decided to train for the 2.5 mile event. He has been training hard come rain or shine. We’ve made the 3 hour round trip to complete the training needed for swimming 2.5 miles in open water. 

We’d be really grateful for any sponsorship. 

Thanks everyone
