I’m challenging myself to my first open water swim, not just Dartmoor open swim in June but also to swim from Firestone bay to Drakes island & back in July. Both are over a mile. I have never swam this far in a pool let alone in a lake or the sea. This will be a true challenge to me. I am not a strong swimmer but I will dedicate myself to training in the pool & in the sea, every chance I get. I realise this will not be easy but I am passionate about continuing the support group I have set up & the difference it makes to peoples lives, including my own (Plymouth Epilepsy Support Group).
I may have epilepsy but I will use this to drive me to succeed & help others.
I want to raise funds to do as many activities as possible to help improve the lives of people with epilepsy in Plymouth & surrounding areas. These activities will aim to help with mental health issues & decrease social isolation. Depression & anxiety are a huge aspect of living with epilepsy. The more help we can receive to improve this the better. Thank you for all your support so far, Caroline x
We are in this together & together we will succeed.
