Clayton's Swim-a-thon for SEND the Right Message Charity

Hi, my name is Kerry, and my son Clayton will be participating in a ‍♀️‍♂️sponsored swim‍♂️ to raise money for a local registered charity called STRM - SEND the Right Message Registered Charity. The charity has given excellent support for our family, especially after Clayton's diagnosis at the end of last year.

On Saturday, July 13th, at 1:15 pm, Clayton will start his challenge. He aims to swim between 1 and 3 miles (1600 to 5000 metres), equivalent to 89 to 277 pool lengths.

Clayton said: “I love Bouldering because it’s fun. The Bouldering Centre, Indirock, always changes the courses, giving you new opportunities to think and challenge yourself.”

"Clayton regularly attends indirock_ to participate in the charity’s Bouldering Club, which has been made possible through funding from STRM. Bouldering has been a lifeline for Clayton.‍♂️Clayton. It has boosted his confidence, helped him build resilience, and benefited his mental and physical well-being."

Local councils' reduced funding and charities like STRM facing rising demand, falling income, and increasing operational costs are concerning. STRM are worried about sustaining their support services for disabled children.

"Bouldering is an excellent workout for kids. It not only keeps them fit but also helps them become calmer and more regulated. It provides a supportive community where they can be themselves."

Thank you for being so supportive!
