David took up wild swimming when his wife Sarah was diagnosed with a life-changing illness. Having given up work to care for her, he found his new hobby was not only good for his own health, but also provided much-needed structure and a sense of community. Since Sarah’s death in March 2023 wild swimming has continued to bring David solace. He recently completed the Thames Marathon to raise funds for Sue Ryder after the Wokingham team provided palliative care for Sarah in her final months.
