I like a challenge and this is something I haven’t done before. I’ve signed up to swim over 2 miles in the river Arun.. in June 2024
I’ve never swum this far and it’s a real challenge I don’t even know if I can do it, but I am for sure giving it my best shot. 🏊

“St Wilfrid’s hospice” do such great work and 20 years ago they looked after my mum in her last days and more recently a lovely friend. They continue to look after our loved ones. Thank you 

“A touch of gentleness” offer free wonderful hand massages to all. They have regular slots in care homes and at shopping centres, where anyone can stop by and receive a 20 minute hand massage and have time to relax and talk. It’s run entirely by volunteers and the mission is to bring more connection, joy and peace back into our communities. 😃🙏 


I really appreciate you supporting me and the charities it means a lot. 🤗
