Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since I was a child I have always loved sea swimming and to take part in a channel relay swim has been on my bucket list for a few years. 

The opportunity to fulfill my dream has been given by The Alexa Trust, a charity that provides support and assistance to parents who have babies in the neonatal unit at The William Harvey, my local hospital.

The charity was set up by Howard and Esmari after their daughter Alexa was born too early, too soon and too premature and sadly did not survive.

I feel so lucky and blessed to have two beautiful healthy daughters but it’s easy to forget that not all parents are so fortunate and by donating to the trust you may just help make their lives a little easier at a very, very difficult time. 

Thank you for your support and I’m sure little Alexa will be with us in spirit as we attempt our channel swim in July.
