Fundraising

I'm really excited because my St.Mark's Foundation fundraising pack arrived today! I've been asking them for a vest or T-Shirt to wear while I train in the gym, after swimming etc to help raise awareness - they have sent me both 😊 I've also got a water bottle (handy) and a band/bracelet as well as sponsorship forms etc

Swim training is going really well, the mile is a standard swim now at roughly 50 minutes so I'm now pushing myself to the 2km point (80 lengths) which should get me prepare for the effect of the current & tide

I do have a gym programme to follow which should supplement the swim training but the gym is always very over crowded and I can never get on the machines so I have started doing a bit of running in the mornings now the weather is nicer & it's getting lighter earlier. I'm surrounded by fields, bridal paths & public footpaths where I live so there are plenty of nice routes for me choose from. I'm surprised at how unfit I still in am terms of running fitness, despite all my swimming but I guess I just need to build it up like I did from widths to lengths - I'll keep you posted with my progress!

I know my swim is still 4 months away but your sponsorship is very much appreciated, donating via my Just Giving website means the money goes straight to St.Mark's and they can put it to use right away, doing research & helping people like my sister:
