🌟 Sending a massive shoutout and thank you to Becky and Juliette, as they enter the final few weeks of their
#PolarBearChallenge for Rett UK 🌟
Since November, Becky and Juliette have been completing an extreme fundraising mission...The Polar Bear and Penguin Challenges 🐻❄️ 🐧
For this they have had to complete a set number of cold dips or cold swims and distances outdoors in the sea, river, lake or unheated lido over this winter (1st November to 31st March) 🥶 🏊🏻♀️
Juliette is doing the Extreme Penguin Silver Challenge which is no gloves, no boots just swim suit and bobble hat! Becky is doing the Polar Bear Gold Challenge where a swim hat is allowed with swim suit!
They've decided to take on this freezing challenge in order to raise money for Rett UK 💜
Juliette says "I am doing it because Rett UK is so important to us and the support it gives to families like ours. I like to have a winter challenge and I enjoy the challenge of cold water swimming with the health benefits it brings!"
And Becky says "This is my fifth year of swimming all year round in the sea...No gloves or boots is painful but nothing compared to what our daughters have to put up with every day from Rett syndrome. They are our inspiration!"
We'd love you to show them your support and offer some much needed words of encouragement in the comments below, as they head into the final stretch of this incredible challenge 💚
