I'm fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK

Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and we're determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.

I’m diving into Swim15 this August and raising money to help save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. The money I raise will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, fund and support research into bowel cancer and support campaigns for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all. 

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with more than 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable.

today I felt so much better, no headache! So I decided to go swimming, but take it easy today so I decided to go with a friend. I still managed to get quite a lot of laps done!

Day 7 😭

Tuesday 13th Aug
I was sad as I Couldn’t Swimming today because I had developed sinusitis Which caused me to have a lot of pressure in my head. I couldn’t even stand up without my head hurting! 😭

A lot of fluid, a lot of sleep And a lot of nasal spray! 

Day 6!

Tuesday 13th Aug
WOW! I never thought I’d be able to even get 1,000m (1km) during this challenge and to get over that is just amazing! I never knew I was capable of so many things! Ps. I was scared to get in the pool with my new watch 😂😂😂

Day 3!

Thursday 8th Aug
1 hour before my swim my watch decided to update!!! So I couldn’t track 

My friend was with me today so I didn’t swim as much as I liked I was very distracted helping them get over their anxiety of swimming! They did very well!

They also counted my laps for me I did 28 laps today so 700m! I’m getting faster! 
Tomorrow I aim for 900m! 

Day 2!

Wednesday 7th Aug
Really tricky day today, I tried to go swimming at 7:30pm but a club was there and there was 50+ people in and around the pool side. This sent me into an anxiety attack. I really wanted to go in the pool but something was stopping me. In the end I gave up! I decided to try again at 9pm I was VERY anxious but I GOT IN!! very proud
