Thanks for your visiting my Dogs Trust Doggy Paddle Challenge page. Every donation made, large or small, will help more dogs find their forever home from Dogs Trust rescue centres, as well as looking out for the welfare of all dogs, in the UK and abroad.

I'm aiming to swim 21 miles over 8 weeks, hopefully more. There are 21 Dogs Trust Centres throughout the UK, purpose built to meet the needs of the nearly 14,000 dogs that pass through their doors each year.

I will be swimming in the pool at Cripps in Northampton, and will need to complete 64 lengths of the 25m pool to obtain just 1 mile, so just over 1,300 for the full 21! 

I have done zero preparation and need to get a swimsuit but I'm aiming to start on August 1st and will be manually tracking my swims. Wish me luck!
