Great North Swim, 2 Mile Openwater

Early one morning I listened to BBC Breakfast and their coverage of a heartbreaking health condition that a young girl, Isla Grist was battling with, Epidermolysis bullosa, a rare extremely painful, genetic skin blistering condition. Graeme Souness, who was being interviewed was discussing how he was to take part in a swim of the English Channel to raise money for the charity DEBRA that supports this condition.
Inspired by Graeme’s challenge but also a regret of never persuing a sport I was good at as a child; never finding out how good I could have been, gave me the kick I needed to take up swimming again. They say It’s never too late to find out what you might have been so I started lane swimming leisurely one evening in in 2023. I soon stumbled across Pontefract Marlins Swiming Club after taking my kids to swimming lessons one evening. There was a great vibe over in the other half of the pool where they were training. When noting a masters taster session poster on the way out I literally threw myself in the deep end and signed up to take part. Out of my depth ,(excuse these puns ) I was reluctant to carry on, but after persuasion from the club I dug deep and carried on. A year later my technique , stamina, health and well being has changed immeasurably. At 46 I have discovered a passion for swimming I never thought I would have again, having now even competed in a Yorkshire Masters gala!
Eager to challenge and test myself further and use the skills gained though swimming with the Marlins I am going to raise money for the charity, DEBRA, the charity that first grabbed my attention and moved me so much. I will be challenging myself  at the Great North Swim to 2 miles of lake Windermere . I hope you can support me raise money for this worthy charity and help ease the suffering caused by this heartbreaking condition .
If you have time to learn a little more about this condition, please find the link attached with the broadcast that first caught my attention. 
Please give what you can, any amount will surly ease the suffering in some way.
