Story

I am back on the challenges again and this time I am swimming 5 miles in the next 30 days to raise money for the fight against dementia. 

The company I work for Reflect Digital is aiming to raise 10K for Charity in its 10th year and this is part of my contribution to that. I need to raise £300 in total - can you help me to get there?

5 miles I believe is about 8047 metres. So I will be counting down my progress in metres as this is how the pool size is measured. 

Please support me as I squeeze in as many swims as possible to hit the 5-mile mark. 

Start: 18.7.21 8047 metres to go

19.07.21 - 600m = 7447
22.07.21 - 800m = 6647
02.08.21 - 600m = 6047
04.08.21 - 800m = 5247
05.08.21 - 800m = 4447
07.08.21 - 800m = 3647
08.08.21 - 800m = 2847

The past year has been tough for everyone but coronavirus has hit people affected by dementia the hardest and continues to disrupt lives. So that's why I'm making a splash and taking on Swim for Dementia. Please donate to support me and ensure Alzheimer's Society can be there for the people who need them most.
