Story

This is by far the biggest swim race I've ever done and to say I'm nervous is an understatement. 10km is going to take a while! I've spent the last 4 months practicing, taking lessons and generally getting very cold and wet.

I was going to do this just as a personal challenge, but the school in Kenya is really struggling. With all the unrest and riots, tge site is no longer safe and we desperately need to pay for a safety fence.

The fence is going to cost around £7000 and we are desperately fundraising. £10 will pay for/sponsor one meter of fence. So while I'm struggling on my swim I'll remember my pain is nothing compared to what they go through on a daily basis.

Thank you sooo much.

About the charity

Operation Imprezza

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1148240
Operation Imprezza is a UK based charity (No:1148240) supporting Imprezza Academy, a school for pupils based in the third poorest part of Western Kenya. Many children in rural locations can’t attend school because it is too far from their homes. Along with day students, Imprezza Academy also has boarding facilities so that students living over 2 hours walk from the site will still be able to gain an education. As many of the students who attend the Academy are destitute, orphaned, malnourished or HIV+, Imprezza offers healthcare, food and even a permanent home to pupils.
