Georgia and Melissa completed the Thames Marathon swim to raise money for a PTSD charity and a charity in Mexico
The pair both have PTSD from the attack and after three years of planning, took part in the 8 mile Thames Marathon swim from Henley to Marlow to raise money for charity. Georgia added: "I think we saw the funny side of it in the end, life doesn't have to be as deep and dark as whatever you're going through."Georgia had suffered a "wobble" training for the swim because the setting was "quite similar to what happened in Mexico".
The twins have so far raised more than £6,500 for PTSD UK and a charity in Mexico called Compañeros en Salud, which helped with some of Melissa's medical aid.Georgia and Melissa said they hope to someday plan a return trip to Mexico for a swim challenge
