Pett Polar Bear Challenge

Lucy Hogg is raising money for Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat
My story
I have always loved swimming and this year started swimming in the sea as often as possible. During the summer swimming was all about the challenge of distance for me and I was keen to continue over the winter months and then I heard about the Polar Bear Challenge. This is a challenge that people sign up to all over the world. I have signed up for the Polar Bear Gold which is swimming in just swim suit from 1 November to 31 March - I have to complete 1000m a month and two of the swims have to be a distance of 250m. When the challenge started in November it was 15 degrees and now in December is 7.5 degrees!
I signed up for a personal challenge but I'd also like to raise money for a very special local charity - Pett Level Rescue Boat. I swim just off their slip and they do such as an amazing job and its all run by volunteers.
Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Pett Level Independent Rescue Boat.
