Clare takes on Swim Serpentine for RASASC
Supporter Clare lets us know why she's decided to take on Swim Serpentine for RASASC!
Clare is taking on the challenge of Swim Serpentine along with her friend Liz on 20 September. We caught up with her to find out why she decided to take on this challenge for RASASC:
Have you ever done anything like this before or taken on an open water swim?
My first medium distance was last year, I swam 4km at the Wild Swimming Festival
and I was hooked!
How is training going, do you feel ready for the big day?
I've been training hard. Strength work and two hours in the pool every Sunday plus a 40 minute sea swim once a week in preparation.
Do you have a plan for the event or a time/goal you would like to achieve?
Hahaha...my goal is to always to finish strong but most importantly, with a smile on my face!
Why did you decide to do Swim Serpentine for RASASC?
A charity that plays such an important role of support for such a traumatic situation, deserves to have funds raised for it. RASASC is a key cornerstone of support for so many victims whose lives can be shattered. It's amazing what you do!!!
Will you have anyone supporting you on the day?
Yes. I am swimming with my good friend Liz (who is also fundraising for RASASC) and I'll have good friends and family there too.
How is fundraising going?
Its going well so far, I hope I can reach a £300 target. I am very close!
Thank you so much Clare for taking on this incredible challenge for us, and good luck! You can make a donation to Clare's swim through her fundraising page.
