This October, I’m swimming 8km to raise funds for GOSH Charity. Every donation, no matter the size, helps give seriously ill children the best chance and the best childhood possible. Your support would mean so much! : Fundraise GOSH - Charlotte Mannion

I’m about to swim 100k over three weeks to raise funds for Great Ormond Street (GOS) Today I found a local pool within 4 mile cycle ride I can join. Now to motivate myself. How many hours will I need to put in? And will I be able to get this swim hat on my head!

Thank you @brianbilston.bsky.social for sharing your poetry with us at @marlboroughlitfest.bsky.social yesterday. As always a glorious occasion though the queue too long for me to get my #100questions book signed by you. Until the next time. 🤩
