<p>In December last year I decided to embark on a year of physically challenging activities that would help me to achieve my goal of being<strong> Fit for 50. </strong>I started with swimming the equivalent of the English Channel in my local pool in seven weeks - mission accomplished. In the New Year I decided to achieve the equivalent of the Wilmslow Triathlon every week in the gym from January to Easter. I have now decided to take on the challenge of open water swimming culminating in the Great North Swim in June. </p>
<p>Other moments of madness will also be undertaken - watch this space.</p>

<p>My friend Jamie visited Madagascar last year and saw how little the villagers had by way of a school building following cyclone Bizinga's visit in 2004. He is undertaking his own year of madness and I want to help him achieve his aim of returning to Madagascar in September where he will spend a year rebuilding the village school with the help of Feedback Madagascar.</p>
<p>Please give as much or as little as you can afford. Every pound will help and if you gift aid your donation it will be kindly increased by the taxman! </p>
<p>This is a great opportunity to enrich the lives of children who want to learn and deserve every chance. </p>
<p>Many thanks, Carole.</p>
