Amelia Evans | Unexpectedly Great | John West Great Swim Series

Eight-year-old Amelia Evans is taking on her first ever open water swimming event as part of a gruelling fundraising challenge. Click 'SHOW MORE'.
She is taking on the John West Great North Swim at Brockhole-on-Windermere on the weekend of 7-9 June as part of the challenge after she was inspired by her Dad Craig to raise funds for The Christie hospital charity in Manchester.
Craig often takes part in endurance events to encourage the children to live a healthy and active life and this year is joining Amelia in the Lake District for her challenge.
The Evans family have set themselves a huge £100,000 fundraising target but are well on their way to hitting it having already passed £33,000.

This year Great Swim is celebrating this incredible diversity and challenge the wider world’s preconceptions of who an athlete is.
The ‘Unexpectedly Great’ Campaign will tell some of these inspirational stories and hopefully inspire many more people to think about what they could achieve through a Great Swim event.
