I am taking part in the 100x100m freestyle world record attempt on Februrary 1st 2014 at Ponds Forge Sheffield, organised by Lewis Coleman. The team will consist of 100 swimmers with a mix of incredible swimmers ranging from national standard up to Olympic, commonwealth and world champions and also other people close to the cause. Each swimmer swimming 100m so that's 4 lengths of your local pool if its 25m. The Record Currently stands at 1hour 37mins 53secs, which is an average of 58.7 seconds per swimmer! 

My personal experience with leukaemia was in 2004 when my uncle passed away as a result of the cancer. He was only 19 years old and this year is the 10th anniversary of his passing so it means a lot to be doing this fantastic event for such a worthwhile cause. 

Please donate generously as it really does help and for more information about the inspiration for the event please follow the following link (http://www.justgiving.com/LewisColeman).
