Raising money for Guide Dogs and Vision Norfolk

Story

I have taken on the challenge to swim the length of Lake Coniston in Cumbria end to end, which is a total of 5.25 miles, on 22nd June 2024 in support of two charities close to my heart - Vision Norfolk and Guide Dogs UK. Any amount raised will go towards supporting these two amazing charities, helping them to continue with their life-saving work. You can choose to give to either just one, or both charities, but, however much you donate I am truly grateful.

I will be taking on the challenge with the help of a guide who has generously given up her time to assist me with this event as, like myself, she has never completed a swim of this distance before. I would not be able to undertake this challenge without her kindness, help and support.
