Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As some of you who have supported me in the past will know this will be the second time I have taken part in the Diabetes UK Swim22 challenge. I have 12 weeks to complete the 1416 lengths it will take me to virtually swim the English Channel.
In 2015 I completed the challenge in 6 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it, raising well over £1000 for this fantastic charity. This year I would like to challenge myself further and try to beat my time. In February I will start my challenge to swim 22 miles (the length of the channel) in 22 days! I would massively appreciate your support in helping me reach my goal.
Type 1 Diabetes has affected the lives of 3 generations of my family and my friend's son. It is such a constant and challenging condition to manage and I am so very proud of my 8 year old niece Freya, cousin Brian, Thomas and their awesome families for not letting it beat them.
Combining the people I love with the hobby I love will motivate me to get the job done and raise not only the pennies for Diabetes UK to continue their research and support of families like mine but also awareness of this life changing condition.
