Swim, like a pebble

The mind is the limit - breaking records

Last week, a good friend of mine called me after a long time. There was much to catch up on and didn't want to hang up when I was ready to jump in the pool. But I didn't want to skip my swimming session either. So I jumped in the pool with my earphones on and swam 1km while chatting with my friend. It was beautifully refreshing.

20 November, 

WATER_the giver of Life. Let's share it!

How good is a warm shower, yes?! Unfortunately, 1 in 10 people worldwide do not even have clean drinking water close to home. 

So, after a tumbling period of flood in my life, this November I'm making a splash in WaterAid's Big Spring Swim to raise money to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation.

With all three, people can unlock their potential, break free from poverty, and change their lives for good. Children grow up healthy and strong, women and men get to earn a living, whole communities start to thrive. 

 Every dollar raised makes a huge difference.

• $30 can build a simple handwashing station to help stop the spread of disease
• $50 can provide a student with clean water at school 
• $150 can help to buy a rainwater tank- so a family has clean water close to home

I'll be swimming 30km. And if we reach the target, I'll chuck an extra 10 in! Please support me today.

And if you want to join the team, please do! Let's swim together:)
