I actually did it!!

I cannae believe I actually did it. Not known for starting something and finishing it, me. But here I am, a finisher! Thanks to everyone who donated...the pressure to see it through was because of all of you, so erm... thanks 😁

Photo proof

If there was ever a time I would not want my pic taken, this morning in this cap would be it! But this cause is bigger than my vanity so here we are. 60 laps today people! Gradually getting up each time. Still not sure about the 1.5k ocean swim, but not giving up yet.

No. 2 swim

Brisk on entry, but determined to do another 200m. Got to 26 laps (200m) and thought, nope...just keep swimming, so kept going til 500m!! Or in other words 50 laps! Pretty happy with myself. must have been the new cap

Day 1

I am not gonna lie, this is a big deal for me. I don't do these sorts of things... I am so afraid of letting people down. But here I am, diving in... and I already have a huge donation! I guess I gotta 'just keep swimming' then.
