Swim for Stroke

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

I joined #TeamStroke for Swim for Stroke.

In 2018 I had a cerebella stroke and spent over 4 months in hospital recovering and rehabilitating. Being only 32 and very active person the floored my in lots of senses. Having my young family, Joseph and Flick my Wife Rebecca and dog Alfie helped me and really gave me something to fight for. Since then I have got back to my active life and even become a senior dinghy sailing instructor, and well as been an assistant scout leader. All along side running my business, which develops software for the NHS within Technical Pharmacy.

Back to it

Saturday 12th Aug
After a holiday I was back in the pool today. Another 50 lengths 1250m completed. Didn’t hurt as much as I expected either. 

Wow….

Tuesday 8th Aug
Well that makes it real, thankyou everyone for the donations. It makes it all real. I’ll hopefully do another 1k on Saturday. I’ll keep you posted. 

The start

Monday 7th Aug
Well actually the first two swims weren’t as bad as I thought. If I can keep doing 1k at a time that would be really good, and slowly cut away at the distance to go. 

Thank you to my sponsors
