With huge thanks to the Wiltshire Wild Swimmers, I'm joining their winter swim fund-raiser.  The Frostbite Challenge is to do12 swims between 1st November 2021 and 28th February 2022, with at least one swim each month, so no avoiding the coldest days! Ideally a mix of lakes, rivers and the sea.  I'm hoping to be swimming without a wetsuit - team skins!

I am raising money for the Linda Norgrove Foundation -  a trust that gives grants to fund education, health and childcare for women and children affected by the war in Afghanistan. Thinking about how bitterly cold the Afghan winter will be, the Frostbite Challenge seemed very suitable.  If you want to find out more: https://lindanorgrovefoundation.org/about-us/

Anything you can contribute towards helping the Linda Norgrove Foundation will be massively appreciated. 

Thank you.
