Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. On Saturday I'm swimming in an InfoBasis team as part of the Blenheim Triathlon. This means doing 750 metres in the lake in Blenheim grounds - and this from a man who couldn't do two lengths crawl in January without getting exhausted!

I need your encouragement and cash to see me through - and it's all in a good cause. The InfoBasis team is raising money for the Children's Oxford Hospital (www.chox.org.uk/). Kids in hospital have special needs. If you have children who've been in hospital you'll know that. The Chox project is a brilliant idea which will enable the 65,000 children visiting Oxford's John Radcliffe hospital each year to feel better, faster.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
