Anna’s story
As the Activity Leader for HopScotch, I get to have a blast joining kids from visiting groups for a swim in the sea. We do this almost every week during the programme, and it’s such a fun way to cool off, especially on hot summer days! After November at the end of the HopScotch Programme, I usually hang up my wetsuit until the spring. This year, though, I’m shaking things up! I’m challenging myself to take a dip in cold water 25 times between December 2024 and March 2025.
Yep, that means I’ll be braving the sea, a river, or a loch all through December, January, and February! 🥶 I could really use your support to help keep me motivated throughout this chilly adventure! If you’d like to sponsor me, please check out this fundraising page. Any donations, big or small, would mean the world to me and will help fund the amazing work that HopScotch does to provide free life-changing holidays for kids in need.
I’ll be sharing lots of updates, including photos and videos, on our social media, so you can follow along with my progress. Thank you so much for your support! It really makes a difference!
