Swim for Stroke

I'm taking part in the Swim for Stroke challenge!

I joined #TeamStroke for Swim for Stroke. This is a charity close to my families heart and I would like to give something back.

Stroke Association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so we work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. We rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

Wow wow wow! Never did I think I'd reach my target of £150. As I'm still off my target for distance I'm going to carry on fundraising and see if I can raise an extra £150. I'm setting myself a target to have swam 10 miles by the end of September or before! Thank you to everyone who has already donated and shared my post. It really does mean the world to me! 🏊‍♀️❤️

Another 30 laps completed today that's a total of 114 laps! Proud of how far I've come and getting faster too which is a bonus. Aiming to up my laps but was in the gym before swimming so a little tired today.

My purpose

Wednesday 9th Aug
I am doing this in memory of my grandma who suffered from numerous strokes. An additional 3 members of my family have been affected by strokes which is why this charity is close to my heart. I am wanting to push myself by setting a target of swimming 10miles, any additional miles/metres/lengths are a bonus! If anyone can donate even the smallest amount I would be extremely grateful 🏊‍♀️❤️

Thank you to my sponsors
