My name is Georgie Halford, Im 18 and am attempting a solo swim of the english channel in August of this year.

I'm raising money for Diabetes UK as they do amazing work in both research into Diabetes and in supporting people with the condition.

I was diagnosed with Diabetes when I was 9 and control it using a insulin pump. I have also been a competitive swimmer since I was 8 and have previously done a channel relay when I was 13, however a solo attempt is a huge challenge.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. It would be absolutely amazing if you could support me in my challenge and in raising money for this great charity by donating any amount.
