Last Year I swam the Great North Swim for the first time for Christies Hospital in Manchester.
This year I’m upping my game and supporting a local charity!!

- The Great Manchester Run (10K on 20th of May 2012) – Completed in 1hr 3mins!
- The Great North Swim (1 mile in Lake Windermere on the 23rd of June 2012) – Cancelled!
