Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  Please let me tell you why I am going to swim 1 mile in open water in Lake Windermere......

Last year I was honoured to become Patron of the ambitious £1m Children's appeal at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals.  Once i visited the wards I knew I was going to do my bit, I am lucky enough to be able to do physical challenges. By choosing to support me, you will be helping children and babies from across Lancashire and South Cumbria have access to the best hospital experience, in first class facilities, to go with the already great care.  As CEO of a play company I know only too well the importance of play on emotional and physical development, so with your help, we can build a happy healing environment with the latest play equipment for teens facing a cancer journey or sensory stimulation for the smallest neonatal born babies, some of whom spend many months in the hospital and some, sadly, will spend their final days there. I would love for you to help me in my fundraising efforts to make the world of difference to the little ones as we aim to raise the bar on our £1m Appeal target for the thousands of children and babies that we see every year at the hospital.  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

THANK YOU!!
