Story

🏊‍♀️💙 Maresa’s TOFS Swimming Challenge 2026 💙🏊‍♀️

Hi everyone! 👋

This year, I’m taking on my second swimming challenge to raise money for TOFS, a charity that means the world to our family. 💙

Last year, I swam 5km (200 lengths) in one week and, thanks to your incredible generosity, raised over £1,500! 🎉

This year, I’m challenging myself to swim 10km (400 lengths) to raise even more money for this amazing charity. 💪🏊‍♀️

💙 Why TOFS?

My reason is simple… my incredible little boy, Harri. 🥹💙

Harri was born with VACTERL Association, including Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula (TOF) and Oesophageal Atresia (OA). Since birth, he’s faced surgeries, lengthy hospital stays and countless challenges, yet continues to amaze us with his strength, determination and cheeky smile.

Throughout our journey, TOFS has provided invaluable information, support and reassurance, helping us feel less alone. 🤝💙

This challenge is my way of giving something back and supporting other families facing similar journeys.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference and helps TOFS continue supporting families who need it most.

Thank you so much for your kindness, donations and support. It means more than you’ll ever know. 💙

This one is for you, Harri. Always. 🥹💙🏊‍♀️

Live life unlimited
