🌊 Swim for Sands – November Swimming Challenge 💛 Round Two!

Last November, I took on the Swim for Sands 5km Challenge after only learning to swim a few months earlier. I was so proud to complete it that this year I’ve decided to come back for round two… but this time, I’m doubling the distance! 😬🏊‍♀️

Throughout November, I’ll be swimming 10km to raise money for Sands, an incredible charity supporting families affected by pregnancy and baby loss. 💙

Although I haven’t been personally affected by baby loss, the work Sands does for families going through such an unimaginable time really touched me, and I wanted to continue doing my little bit to help.

Sands works to make sure everyone affected by the loss of a baby receives the support and care they need and deserve. They also campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support vital research to help save babies’ lives.

Last year, 5km felt like a huge challenge for someone who had only just learned to swim. So naturally, this year I’ve decided the sensible thing to do is double it to 10km! 😂💪

It’s going to mean a lot of lengths, probably some tired arms, and plenty of time staring at the bottom of a swimming pool — but it’s all for a cause that does such important work. 🌊

If you’re able to donate, no matter how much, it would mean so much to me. And if you can’t donate, sharing my page or simply cheering me on is just as appreciated! 💛

10km. Double last year’s distance. One very worthwhile reason to keep swimming. 🏊‍♀️✨

Here’s to making even bigger waves for Sands this November! 🌊💛
