Story

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Josh and Tristan came across this event last year when they were sailing and thought I should enter this year! I easily swim half a mile&nbsp;in a pool but now face the challlenge of a building up to a comfortable mile indoors before swimming a mile in Alton Water Reservoir wearing a wetsuit on 16 June. Thankfully it will be Summertime!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Have a look at the website to see what I will be doing: <a href="http://www.greatswim.org/Events/British-Gas-Great-East-Swim/Default.aspx">http://www.greatswim.org/Events/British-Gas-Great-East-Swim/Default.aspx</a></span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I have chosen to give my sponsorship money to the Albinism Fellowship as they were a great source of information after Tristan's diagnosis and continue to be supportive.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</span></p>
