I’m swimming in November for families facing baby loss

I’ve committed to swimming this November for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.

7th Swim in Dundee 8th Nov

Saturday 8th Nov
So just realised the portal will only record 1000m and not the 1250 I have been swimming everday!!! Tomorrow morning will be my final swim to reach 10K. Once again many many thanks to everyone that has donated to this wonderful charity, the page will stay open till end of Nov  so hopefully there may be further donations xxx 

6th Swim at Bannantyne Pool - 7th Nov

Friday 7th Nov
Big thanks to Wendy Hughes for the massage, which has helped this old girl's shoulders and back. Another 50 lengths completed early doors this morning as travelling today to visit our son, and will do the final 100 lengths in Sunny Dundee. Wish me luck, and thank you to everyone that has taken the time to donate, thank you for your support and lovely messages.

5th Swim at Bannatyne Pool - 6th November

Thursday 6th Nov
Busier pool this morning and fighting with my Garmin watch once again!! :( Enjoyed the swim though so just 150 lengths to go, which I will complete in Dumfries on Friday and Dundee at the weekend. Going for a wee massage today to ease my tight shoulders and back, this 66 year old body needs some tlc. Back tomorrow with an update. Have a good day everyone. xxx

4th Swim at Bannantyne Pool 5.11.25

Wednesday 5th Nov
Half way there, still trying to get my head around the Garmin Watch settings!!! Sharon you need to remember to stop the activity once you stop swimming, I realised during my shower it was still recording :) Thank you to everyone that has donated so far, hoping to reach 500.00 by the weekend, fingers crossed. xxx

3rd Swim 4th November at Bannantyne Pool

Tuesday 4th Nov
PLEASE NOTE  I am swimming 1250m each day but the donation page only shows 1000m. Another swim completed today, but unable to post app details for this swim, as I forgot to push start on my Garmin Watch!!! I did 50 lengths, which leaves 250 to go. Thank you, hugs and love to everyone who has donated, and also thank you to those that have visited my page without donating, as it makes you aware of the SANDS charity and it Core Values. Just keep swimming Nannie Shannie xxxxxx

2nd Swim - 3rd November - Bannantyne Pool

Monday 3rd Nov
So another visit to the pool this morning and completed another 50 lengths, feeling ok for a 66 year old so far. Just another 300 to go, wish me luck. Thank you so much to everyone that has donated so far.
