It's now 10 years since the wonderful Annie Thornley died. 

I lost my partner and my children lost their Mum. 

It's not been an easy road, and counselling I received at Greenwich and Bexley Hospice has been a massive help in getting us through.

I'm aiming to swim a kilometre every day in May to raise money for the hospice. 

That's 40 lengths of a regular 25-metre swimming pool. Every day. 1,240 lengths over the course of the month (and yes, I am wishing I'd gone for February, but it didn't rhyme).

Please sponsor me if you can. Anything you feel able to give would be fantastic to support this amazing organisation.

Thank you
