I am taking on the challenge of swimming the Thames Marathon swim at the end of summer 2016. Despite being a confident swimmer, swimming 14 km will push me out of my comfort zone and pose a significant challenge. 

During my training and lead up to the swim, i would like to raise as much as possible for Action Mental Health. This charity based in Northern Ireland helps to change the lives of those individuals with mental ill health. Their aim is to promote resilience and well being for future generations. 

As a student mental health nurse, i understand the struggle that people face with regards to mental health on a daily basis and would love to raise as much funds as possible for this charity. 

Many Thanks
