I'll keep it nice & short.

Thames Marathon solo swim - 13km swim - COMLPETED

Windermere Lake 1 way Solo - 17km swim - COMPLETED

Now, I will attempt to swim the length of Loch Ness - 24 miles/ 38.6km. Arguably one of Europe's toughest swims due to the distance, the sudden changes of weather conditions and the depth of 230m keeps it nice cold (6-14 degrees) all year round.

I will be attempting some impressive high end swimming challenges over the next few years, & while I do I will also be raising money for an amazing charity (Men's Minds Matter).

I have chosen this charity as I lost a best friend a few years back to suicide. This alongside some other personal challenges caused me to suffer with severe mental health & anxiety.

Going back 3 years ago which were the darkest/ hardest times of my life, to now where I can say I am in an amazing place in my life & could not wish for anything more.

I am attempting these challenges for myself personally but why not raise some money for an amazing charity along the way.
