Story

Having taken on the challenge to lose 30lbs in 3 months and being gutted at admitting defeat with only 24lbs lost (most of which will probably be back on within a month!), I decided to set myself another challenge to make up for it:

The Challenges:

*TO OPEN WATER SEA SWIM EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR A MONTH FROM 3RD JULY - 2ND AUGUST COME RAIN, SHINE OR HUMONGOUS STORMY WAVES

and

*TO COMPLETE A 3.8KM+ SEA SWIM EVENT ON 24th JULY

Fitting travel & daily swims around work, care & my own health issues and limitations will be a real challenge for me and I have never swam a distance event of anywhere near this length.

Personal experience within own family and regularly seeing the smiles and laughter of others who benefit from the services offered by Diverse Abilities shows me what a wonderful role they play in enhancing and beautifying the life of so many super individuals throughout Dorset.

The sense of friendship, inclusion, fun, joy, support, adventure and encouragement they provide to groups and individuals are just priceless and mean so very much to so many. They have my deep personal gratitude and provide a wonderful service in the community.

I really appreciate any donation no matter how big or small that can go towards this lovely charity so if you’d like to support me in this challenge it means a lot and everything donated will go towards beautifying precious lives 🙂.

Thank you so much!
