For the last 2 weeks of her life in November 2019 Mum received end of life care from Myton Hospice. The care and support they provided to both my Mum and us as a family was invaluable and I have always wanted to give something back so being an avid swimmer I feel that this is the perfect opportunity. 

I have chosen to swim the distance of The English Channel but I’m challenging myself to not just swim there but there and back. This equates to 68km/42miles which is 2720 lengths of a 25metre pool, an average of 209 lengths a week. This is going to be a challenge but I’m willing to give it my best shot.

Help us raise £7,500 at this year's Swim for Myton!This will help ensure The Myton Hospices can continue to provide its services free of charge to people with a terminal or life limiting illness, and their families, when they need us most.This year they have to raise £9.1 million of the £11.6 million they need and can't do it without support from people like me and you. To reach their target of £7,500 they rely entirely on sponsorship. Have a look at the difference the money you raise will make: £50 covers the cost of two hours specialist nursing care£175 is the upkeep cost of our relatives' accommodation for a week £460 will fund an inpatient bed for one day£2,000 would buy a patient specific recliner chair to enable patients to spend time out of bed. Thank you so much!
