Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

am doing a sponsored swim;twenty laps of ivy bank swim school in prestwich but have a lot of barriers am willing to try and get over to try and help the dogs of the recently arson damaged manchester dogs home.

am severely autistic and have mild intelectual disability, and also have severe sciatica which has left mobility very low due to acute pain, because of the autism and ID am unable to use legs whilst swimming so swim very slow as a result but these are all challenges am going to force self to get around to do twenty laps.

am a special olympics athlete in swimming but have not been able to train for a while due to the sciatica but SO training is very different to normal swimming and will overcome the pain with the passion to help these dogs who have yet again become homeless thanks to the actions of a youth who is more of an animal than the dogs he brutaly murdered.
