Huge Thanks to Louise Howard for Taking on the Swim Serpentine!

On Saturday 20th September, Louise Howard took on the Swim Serpentine at Hyde Park, London – the UK’s biggest open-water swimming race – all in support of Olly’s Future! 🌊💛

Louise, who is Associate Professor of Mental Health Nursing at Kingston University, has already made a huge difference to our work by introducing Dr SAMS (Suicide Awareness in Medical Students) training to Kingston’s nursing students last year. We’re delighted that she will be bringing this vital training back again in 2025.

Her incredible swim not only raised vital funds for our suicide prevention work but also shone a powerful spotlight on the importance of wellbeing, resilience, and awareness.

We are so grateful to Louise for her dedication, energy and passion – and for taking on such a challenging event in support of Olly’s Future. Thank you to everyone who came along to cheer her on and show their support. 👏👏👏

Join Us in Saying Thank You

Please join us in giving Louise a massive round of applause and a heartfelt THANK YOU for being a true fundraising hero!
