In September I’ll be swimming 10,000m down the River Dart in Devon. Why? Good question. I keep asking myself that and repeat "it's for a good cause." Not a good one, a great one.

I’m doing it to raise money for a Paralympic Legacy Charity called Level Water. They make sure that disabled kids get a fair start in sport by providing one-to-one swimming lessons until these children can join mainstream classes. From there they can play safely in the water, experience other watersports … and maybe go on to be Paralympians themselves.

Check out this video to see an example of how they help kids like Daisy.

If you believe in the power of sport and think everyone should have a fair start, then please sponsor me here.

I'll keep you posted on my slog as I attempt to get in shape to survive and not sink.

Wish me luck! Lucky Luke
