Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

2020 has been a tough year for us all, with the pandemic now preventing me from what would make me super happy - celebrating my big milestone birthday with my family and friends as I'd planned.

On the first of December I will be the big six oh. And I want to share it somehow with you all and have a bit of fun despite being still in lockdown, in the cold weather and it getting dark at 4.30pm!

I'm going to challenge myself to swim for at least 60 seconds in the sea in Devon on my 60th birthday! Yes, me, the wimpy swimmer who despite loving the sea, always moaned at being cold and told others how mad they were to swim on New Year's Day!

I'd love you to share this with me somehow - perhaps not in cold water, but by doing your own mini-challenge for 60 seconds, on December 1.

You could do 60 sit ups, jog for 60 seconds, walk for 60 seconds, eat 60 Maltesers, bake 60 cup cakes, meditate for 60 seconds, keep quiet for 60 seconds....? Whatever it is, please set it up, video/photograph yourself doing it and post it on social media tagging me in.

Then please just donate whatever you can afford to this wonderful charity that's making a lasting difference to children and young people aged 8-15 who face serious challenges in their lives. It offers them breaks in our wonderful Devon, which help them to grow in confidence through a week of outdoor adventure, friendship and support.

Thanks so much for sharing my big day with me - let's make it fun for everyone!
