I'm taking on the challenge of swimming 22 miles – the length of the English Channel – in support of St Giles Hospice.

As you may know Connor is unwell and we are supported by St. Giles.

Connor and I began swimming together in 2020 and it was a favourite activity of ours and still is of mine.

I am a fairly slow swimmer so it may take me quite a while to complete this! I'm glad it's not the actual Channel!

St Giles Hospice spend close to £10 million a year providing their specialist services. With, on average, between 20-25% of this funded by the Government, they rely heavily on donations and income generation from the local community.

Can you help sponsor my swimming challenge? Anything that you would be able to donate is happily received.

Thank you very much - V, C and N xxx
