Story

I love a challenge something to make me feel like I've achieved something personal to me. I find swimming an ok thing to do...in a warm swimming pool !!! in my bathing suit ..I'm not keen swimming in open waters as I'm not sure to what actually lurks in there and it's cold ...and I've never swam in a wet suit !!! ..and this swim obviously is the wild waters of Windermere !!! arghhh so yup this is a going to be a challenge alright... and I'll either sink or swim 

more than anything with the training and the swim it's creating and will create lasting memories which mean so much to us.

Alzheimer's is a cruel disease that takes that away from us ...dissolves the person we are.

We will all be affected by Alzheimer's in one way or another. I worked in dementia care for a lot of years and saw how it affected the individual and their families and now my family have had the crushing news our own grandparent has been diagnosed with early stages of dementia 

So please help me raise funds for such a great cause its an awful disease that takes our loved ones. 

Help me do this my sponsoring me to get this wet suit on and challenge myself to not only keep healthy but while doing it make a big difference
