Swim for Stroke

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

I joined #TeamStroke for Swim for Stroke.

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.

TODAY IS THE DAY

Wednesday 23rd Aug
So today is the day that I will attempt to swim the width of Loch Ness (84 lengths of 25 metre pool) in memory of my grandma, Chrissie Wilkinson.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated- it really is appreciated and my Meme would be so proud knowing that I’ve done this.

Wish me luck.

In memory of Chrissie Wilkinson

Friday 11th Aug
I have decided to take part in Swim for Stroke in memory of my grandma who suffered a stroke a few months ago and who sadly passed away. She would be very proud of me doing this and I hope I can raise as much money as possible. Any donation you can make would be gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks .
