So.......over the next month I will be taking part in three different events to raise money for Macmillan, Cancer Research and the British Heart Foundation.

As a warm up I will be doing a 5k pretty muddy run on Saturday 18th June, then on 9th July I will be doing a 23mile hike along the Jurassic Coast, topped off by a 1.4 mile sea swim the following morning. Well, that is the intention anyway! My work collleagues think I'm crazy to do the swim the day after the hike, and reckon I will need pulling along in the the water, but I'm gonna give it a crack anyway!

Over the last 3 years, I have had several friends, family and work colleagues who have been affected by cancer or heart disease, some have been very lucky and have beaten these killers, but, unfortunately others have not been so fortunate; Joe, Dave C, Annie and Chappers were all taken far too soon. So... In their memory I will do my best to complete these challenges, in as quick a time as my aging body will allow!

If you would like to support me in raising some money towards these really important charities, then please hit the donate button. It doesn't matter even if it is only £1, just whatever you can afford, I'll do the hard work, just please make it worthwhile 😘🏊🏼❤️

Thank you

55 lengths in the pool tonight, not as good as being in the fresh air but at least no algae in sight!!

Muddy waters!

So, went for practice sea swim last night; a beautiful evening and calm sea but yuck, the sea was brown, smelly and slimy! It seems that the coastline along here has been affected by an algae which is making the sea very undesirable at the moment. Apparently it's not harmful
