Here's her own words

I’m going to do a sponsored swim for sports relief! I hope to swim around 25 lengths of our local pool. This is no ordinary swim, it’s difficult for me because I have Muscular Dystrophy and it’s quite hard to live with and hard to do anything physical. It means I have to have piggy backs or use a wheelchair to get around. Also, I feel some people notice and judge me when I can’t do something simple, like climbing the stairs. This makes me feel embarrassed. But then I feel I want to fight back and do it anyway! I feel that through this sponsored swim I am fighting to change the way some people view me. This is what the money from sport relief does – it helps people like me, it helps people who have to live with difference or illnesses. It makes me sad when I read about children dying from illnesses we can stop, or from children living on the street.
I would not usually be able to swim 25 lengths, and it is going to be hard but it feels to me that, through my sponsored swim, I would be helping loads of people and I feel, with your help, we can make a difference – thank you for all the support I’ve had so far, I know I cannot back out now – I cannot change my mind!
I hope this inspires you to get on the sport relief website and start sponsoring or even raising money too!
Thank you all for supporting me, it really means a lot.
