Fundraising 🥶🥶

So today I swam in a FREEZING cold lake and raised some money for Crisis (Homeless charity). Since my diagnosis and putting down the bottle I’m always looking for different challenges both mentally and physically and this popped up on my Facebook. So I wondered about doing something for the BLT. Any ideas? So the BLT do fundraising events?

Absolutely fantastic. Well done but rather you than me! I went swimming in an outdoor heated pool last week and that was bad enough. So good that it’s for a homeless charity too! Let us know your next challenge.

Just been reading all your posts, Well done you. Keep eating the spinach sweetheart. I can't stand taking a shower unless it's really warm. x

Your determination just shows what can be done and be achieved. "Hats off" to you Dean and what an extremely worthy Charity you did it for. All Charities would welcome Guys like you in their fund raising efforts. Absolutely remarkable - you must be feeling great to have done such an awesome and very rewarding event. I applaud you. x
