Read more about Helens chosen charities:
Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund - ‘this is for my darling Dad who sadly died just 7 days before my Channel relay swim in 2021. This was his charity as RAFBF helped Dad and his family when he lost his Dad in WW2’
Pleasant Valley Camp - ‘YMCA Greater Boston - my summer camp in the USA that helped shape me as a young woman and gives young girls and women a place to learn independence, flourish and grow. Everyone who attends camp gets swimming lessons. I am PVC alumni and a member of their Board of Advisors’
Charlie’s Promise - ‘a local charity set up by a brave family who tragically lost their son and brother after he was stabbed at a party. Charlie’s Dad promised him that he would educate youngsters about the danger of carrying knives. I know some of Charlie’s extended family through our swimming connection’
Young Minds - ‘helping young people facing and battling mental health issues. This shockingly seems to be affecting more and more families. This is also the charity supported by my husbands firm in 2024’
Dementia UK - ‘I have several friends whose parents are suffering with dementia and many more that have been affected by this cruel illness. There is so much more research needed in this area of medicine’
