I swam 11,200m in the end! It was one of the most incredible, hardest and yet most exhilarating sporting challenges I’ve ever taken on. I could not have done it without my support team. Love and special thanks to My PT Jonathan Biddle, physio Ruddi Farquharson, Pete Kelly from Swim the Lakes and Ian Golding our driver. My amazing family and friends and every single person that sponsored me. Thank you so much! X Your contributions will make a difference to our Foundation and Charities.
