Charity 16 Challenge 2023

Emily Martens is raising funds for Happy Bundles

My name is Emily Martens and this year I will be swimming 16 miles for Happy Bundles. Last year I swam 8 miles and I made it a goal of mine to swim 16 miles when I am 16 years old. To be able to swim for Happy Bundles makes the challenge so rewarding as the money raised goes towards an amazing cause. Happy Bundles is a charity which gives gifts to children battling cancer. I think this is such a great initiative and what they do for the children is really amazing - putting smiles on their faces every time and walking with the families on their journey. Please help with supporting such an amazing charity by donating to the challenge I have set. Thank you.
