Hello Everyone!

I'm Abi, but most people know me as Hammy. And let me tell you, I'm gearing up for an adventure that's part excitement, part nerves, and all heart!

On June 29th, 2024, I'll be plunging into the chilly waters of Bournemouth to embark on the Bournemouth Pier to Pier Swim, all in support of the British Heart Foundation. It's not just a swim—it's a dive into making a real difference in the fight against heart and circulatory diseases.

Swimming 1.4 miles (that's 2.25km) from Boscombe Pier to Bournemouth Pier isn't just a personal challenge for me. It's a statement of solidarity with those affected by these conditions. Every stroke I take is a symbol of hope, a commitment to raising awareness, and a tribute to those we've lost and those we can still save.

The British Heart Foundation has been on the frontlines of this battle, making incredible strides in research and care. But there's still so much ground to cover. Every day, hundreds of lives are lost, and every day, we have the opportunity to change that.

But I can't do it alone.

With your support, we can turn the tide. Your contribution, big or small, will fuel groundbreaking research, lifesaving initiatives, and bring us closer to a world where heart disease isn't a sentence, but a challenge we've overcome.

And here's the kicker: every pound you donate is matched by my employer, B&Q. That means your generosity goes twice as far, doubling the impact of your support.

Let's make waves together. Let's show the world the power of compassion, community, and courage. Together, we can be the difference between despair and hope, between loss and life.

Your kindness means more to me than words can express. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Thank you for believing in the power of humanity. Thank you for being the heartbeat of change.
