Sometimes, the only words that matter are those of the individual who is undertaking the particular challenge, so here in Milly's own words is why she is going to be attempting to swim 2.5 km on 1st November.

"I've had hydrocephalus since the day that I was born and ever since then I have had a huge amount of support from Southampton General Hospital. Smile4Wessex has links with the hospital and especially the Neurological centre, their support helps a lot of individuals live a normal life as possible. I've been very lucky so far but others have not been so lucky so please donate whatever you can to help Smile4Wessex support those who really do need it. Thank you :)"
