Story

 Thanks for visiting my fundraising page! 

I'll be doing a sponsored swim for children in need, but with a difference! I am a bilateral below knee amputee, so will be swimming without the aid of prosthetic legs. It's quite difficult, but I'm aiming to do 15-20 lengths. The swim will raise money for children in need  - an extremely worthy cause. I'm also hoping this swim will inspire other amputee's - having only lost my legs last year I want to show that a year on it is possible to do anything :)

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BBC Children in Need gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now! Thank you :0) xx
