Ok, it's only a kilometre swim but it will be in Tooting Bec Lido which I promise to do without a wetsuit, in October! This in itself surely is worthy of a small donation. I would appreciate any amount large or small to spur me on with this endeavour.

A group of us are raising money for Family Rights Group by completing an ultratriathlon (also known as an Ironman). The thing is we're doing it as a team. Over the course of a week - October 17th to October 23rd - we will be collectively running, swimming, rowing or cycling the distance.Were supporting Family Rights Group because their work has become even more critical since the pandemic. They advise parents whose children are in need, at risk or in the care system and wider family members raising children unable to remain at home. They campaign for families to have their voices heard, be treated fairly and get help early before problems escalate. They also run a programme called Lifelong Links which works with children and young people in the care system to develop positive, lasting support networks.All money we raise will help Family Rights Group support more children and families in need.
