As some of you are aware my beautiful mum had a stroke in June 2024.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. Life changes instantly and recovery is tough. But the brain can adapt. The stroke association specialist support offers research and campaigning, which are only possible with raising awareness, support and donations.

I am committing to a collective 20.5 mile swim, the length of the English Chanel, to raise awareness and show a small reflection of the courage and bravery my mum has shown on her journey.

Please help me reach the £350 target to give back to a charity very close to my heart.
