Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I wanted to set myself a challenge in January 2025, to keep my mind focussed and improve my physical health.

As some of you will know, Overgate hospice is a very special place and one close to my heart and unfortunately will become even closer in the future. I want to say thank you and hopefully raise some much needed money for Overgate along the way.

My aim is to swim 2025 lengths in January 2025 (25m Swimming pool). This equals 65.3 lengths a day ( 1 mile). There may be some days I can’t swim, out of my control so aim to catch up or get ahead of my target.

The pain and sacrifice I will go through is nothing compared to what people go through daily.

I will be updating daily and sharing each workout throughout the month.

I appreciate it’s January and people will have had an expensive Christmas period, but please spare anything you can to an amazing cause.
