1 arm 1 leg and making a splash, cheer me on by donating xxx

Hi I am Gill, I am a double amputee (Right below knee and Right below elbow) I also have chronic pain conditions and autoimmune diseases..... BUT on the 14th June 2025 I will be aiming to complete the 1 mile Great North Swim in Lake Windermere.

I am swimming to raise funds for a support group that is very dear to me, Enable Support Group CIC. I have been an active member of Enable for over 9 + years now and in those 9 years they have helped me from a position of pain and despair to a more fulfilling and manageable life.

It started for me with an excellent 6 week course which gave me the skills and techniques to help me think more positively and be more proactive in managing my mobility and health care by enabling me to make better choices in life. This great experience led me to attend regular weekly meetings and chat groups run by Enable where the support continued. 

I will be forever grateful to Enable and discovering their support network, it was only after a few months of improved self care, using the methods I learned, that I realised my previous mental and physical condition was so bad. However, I have come a long way in the past 9 years despite further health setbacks, so please help me raise some desperately needed cash to give others the benefits I have received from my engagement with Enable Support Group.

Thank you and please support me!
