I recently retired. I've had diabetes type 2 for about 6 years but not sorted my weight. In fact I need to lose a MASSIVE amount of weight! I walked Morecambe Bay for Diabetes UK a few years ago.

Swim 22

 

I'm taking part in Swim 22 to help raise vital funds for Diabetes UK! I am going to attempt to swim  102 lengths at Virgin Active, Preston, every week from August 22nd to November 22nd.  I now have a friend, Sue Fillingham, swimming with me.  She is a much stronger swimmer than me so will complete well before me but hopefully her support will help keep me going.

I HAVE COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE!! I swam 44 lengths to finish today. I really enjoyed my swim. Donna made sure that I had a lane to swim in so that I could complete easily. Sue and Lindsey were swimming with me as I finished. Virgin Active manager, Sarah and pool attendant Donna came and cheered as I touched to finish. I am very happy!
