A Lanarkshire teacher has set herself the goal of swimming 5k over the course of August following a heartbreaking stillborn birth in her family.
Karen McCaffreyflits between Blantyre and Larkhall Leisure Centres where she swims every couple of days in a bid to clock up the miles and funds for the national stillbirth and neo-natal death charity SANDS, whom have a base within Wishaw General.
The 46-year-old decided to push herself to complete such a challenge after a close family member tragically suffered a full-term stillbirth last Christmas.
