Story

Without Coram I would not be Mum to the gorgeous, fun-loving, chatterbox of a little lady I am privileged to call my daughter. Both of our lives would look very different if it wasn’t for Coram bringing us together. 

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect on charity income, and we are trying to help bridge that gap. Coram works to increase the life chances of the most vulnerable children in the UK. They help more than a million children, young people, professionals and families every year. Now, more than ever, they desperately need our help to continue this vital support. With your donations, we can ensure they can continue their valuable work. 

Each day Jessica and I will spend a combined total of 1739 seconds in the water - swimming, body boarding or floating around (but paddling doesn’t count!) As long as it’s safe to be in the water we will be, come rain or shine. If it’s not safe one day, we will make up the time another day. Over the past month this would have been easily achievable, but now the weather is turning, the sea is cooling and hours of daylight are reducing, it will not be so easy. But we are up for the challenge!

Please sponsor us if you can and we will keep you posted with how it’s going!
