I am one week into a new challenge... to swim 82km (the equivalent of around Lake Atitlan in Guatemala) over a month. I'll be swimming around the beaches, coves and rivers of Devon in order to rack up the mileage. Here's a few pics of where I've swam so far...
This is part of Latin Link Indoor Expeditions campaign, which is raising money for vulnerable communities in Latin America who have been badly affected by COVID-19 and lockdowns. In Guatemala all the hospitals are full and the number of cases continue to grow, but the government has lifted a number of restrictions, as the lockdown had such a drastic effect on 80% of the population who were in informal work and were therefore now not able to work. Donations given to the Indoor Expeditions campaign have been able to support projects getting food and hygiene parcels to families who don't have any income because of the lockdown. Similar support has been given to churches and projects responding to the needs in their communities throughout Latin Link. If you would like to help, here's the link...
