Gabby’s Pier-to-Pier Swim for Connect IOW ️

On 9th August, I’ll be swimming 1.8 miles (yes… 1.8 miles! ) from Sandown Pier to Shanklin Pier in the Isle of Wight’s Pier to Pier sea swim.

It’s a big challenge for me — exciting and a bit terrifying — but I’m doing it for someone very special: Micah

Micah lives with daily physical challenges, yet approaches life with incredible strength, determination, positivity, and grace. He inspires me every single day.

To help keep me going and make sure I don’t back out, I asked Micah to choose a charity close to his heart — and without hesitation, he said:

“My MUM’S!”

So I’ll be swimming in support of Connect IOW, a brilliant organisation run by Micah’s mum, Jenny, Micah’s mum.

Connect IOW provides inclusive, therapeutic, and creative support for children and families across the island who are often underserved and overlooked.

I’d be so grateful for any donation you can spare — every penny goes directly to Connect IOW, helping Jenny continue the amazing work she does with such heart and care.

Whether it’s £1 or £10, your support truly means the world

Thank you from me, from Micah, and everyone from Connect, your kindness will help

With love and a slice lemon drizzle cake for all who donate,

Gabby & Micah x
