Virr (15yrs) Atish (15yrs) & I (17yrs) have organised a, ‘Swim For Children’ to primarily improve the mental and physical health of the individual and our second aim is to raise some funds for 'Life 4 Children' - an initiative of that we are involved with that support projects to relieve poverty, sickness and distress amongst children across the globe.
The event will take place on Saturday 5 September at Copthall Swimming Pool, , Hendon, . I have decided to swim 400 lengths of a 25m pool, which totals to 10,000m (10km). In order for me to complete this mammoth task it will take me just over 6 hours of continuous swimming.
At the age of 12, I beat my personal best, coming second best in the for the 11 - 16 age group to complete Butlins 5km Swimathon 2004. Over the years I have participated in many other charitable events, but this one is going to be one of the most challenging one.
If you would like to participate in the swimathon please contact us swimforchildren@hotmail.co.uk. Alternatively you can assist me in reaching my small target of just £400, so please dig deep and donate now. Remember Gift Aid your donation if you are a tax payer, as every penny makes a difference.
I would be grateful for your support in achieving my goal to raise a minimum of £1 per length I swim.
