My story

 

Hello!

Thanks for popping by.

I am taking part in the Great North Swim on 12th September to raise money for Cerebral Palsy Sport.  It is a one mile open water swim in Lake Windermere.  I know what you're thinking - one mile isn't that far - well, think again!  It may only be 65 lengths of a pool but with the COLD and choppy water, no walls to kick off from, fish, eels, possibly even sharks, I really am taking my life into my own hands!  Seriously, I have been training hard for this event and if you could support me by sponsoring me, I would be very grateful.  If you can only spare a pound or two, it will still be greatly appreciated and will all add up.

All the funds raised will help Cerebral Palsy Sport improve the lives of people with disabilities through sport.  Many of us take for granted how easy it is to go for a run, play football, swim etc, but for lots of people with cerebral palsy, access to sport is just not that easy.  The charity provides sporting opportunities from grass-roots to elite performance and members of the charity have won more Paralympic medals than any other organisation.  Cerebral Palsy Sport's work is life changing and gives many isolated people improved self-confidence, mobility and the opportunity to build life long friendships with others who understand their difficulties.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for your support.  I will let you know if I survive the shark attacks!

lots of love, Caroline x x x
