Polar Bear Challenge Nov 2021 - Mar 2022
Sea swimming through the winter to raise money for St Helena Hospice and Colchester Buddhist Centre
Welcome to this space which I have created to share my experience of taking part in the Arctic Polar Bear Challenge this winter.
Last year I successfully completed the Gold Polar Bear Challenge raising £2,588.80 for the Samaritans and Colchester Buddhist Centre.
After losing my wonderful Dad to cancer in June 2021 I have decided to hit the water again, this time raising money for the Colchester Buddhist Centre and St Helena Hospice who were incredibly kind and supportive at the end of my Dad’s life.
Go here for details of my journey to date, what the Arctic Challenge involves and why I am raising money for these charities.
Short summaries of my swims from last year can be found on the ‘Swims in 20-21’ page, along with a gallery of ‘Photos’ and ‘Videos’.
If you sign-up to my newsletter at the end of each month I will send you a summary of my activity.
