My Story

I am swimming 10km (the swimming equivalent of a marathon) to raise money for Barnardos. The charity is close to my families heart as my wife is the service manager for the Bristol branch and does some amazing work for (mostly) inner city children who are at risk of criminal or sexual exploitation.

The charity works closely with young people and their families and provides opportunities for a better life.

the trip will cost me personally about £1000 so I would like to raise at least the same amount for the charity itself. 

All donations however big or small go a long way to helping improve the lives of our societies most vulnerable.

I am participating in the great north swim which is 10km around lake Windermere. I am training hard and aim to at least be competitive, this will be hard having not come from a competitive swimming background.

I will post updates about my training and examples of how your money will go towards helping young people get a better start in life. 

many many thanks,

Phil ☺️
