Milford woman to brave waves in challenging swim for charitable cause
KELLY HOWES, a dedicated employee at Value Independence CiC in Milford, is preparing to take on the exhilarating challenge of Tenby’s Long Course swim this Friday, June 30. Not only will Howes be pushing her physical limits in this demanding open water event, but she will also be raising funds to provide equipment for the Well Being Walking Group, a local initiative supporting community health and well-being.
When asked about her motivation for participating in this challenging swim, Howes spoke enthusiastically about her passion for sporting events and her strong swimming abilities. Two years ago, she made the decision to give the Long Course swim a try, and ever since, she has been diligently training to prepare herself. Her training routine includes regular workouts, healthy eating, and consistent swimming sessions, which often involve her swimming with the Puffins Disability Swimming Squad in Haverfordwest. Additionally, she recently joined the Pembrokeshire Blue Tits swimming group to further enhance her skills and endurance.
Speaking about her upcoming swim, Howes expressed her excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to make a positive impact. “I’ve always been a fan of sporting events, and the Long Course swim seemed like the perfect challenge for me. The fact that I can also support the Well Being Walking Group through this fundraiser is incredibly rewarding. Their work in promoting community health aligns with my own values, and I hope to contribute to their cause.”
To support Howes in her fundraising efforts, individuals are encouraged to donate to her GoFundMe campaign. The link to the fundraiser will be provided by Howes to the campaign organizer, Tom, ensuring that every contribution goes towards providing necessary equipment for the Well Being Walking Group.
The local community and supporters are urged to rally behind Howes as she braves the waves and undertakes this remarkable endeavor. Her commitment to personal growth, community support, and charitable causes serves as an inspiration to all.”
