My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Myself and Vicky Gray both work on Willow Ward at Charlton Lane Hospital in Cheltenham which is the only Dementia Assessment Ward in the county. We look after patients with behavoiural disturbances associated with their Dementia. We both wish to help the Alzheimer's Society with their fundraising and to help promote such a worthwhile cause. 

We have signed up to do 'The Great North Swim' in Lake Windemere on the 23rd June 2012 which is a 1 mile swim in the open water. This will be a fantasitc challenge to do as although we can both swim, neither of us have done anything like this, especially not in a lake!!! We started training in December and will be continuing right up until the day!!!!!

Please, Please, Please support us both by donating to this fantastic charity, every penny really does count!

Also, if the thought of seeing me in a wet suit doesn't spur you on to dig deep, then I don't know what will!!!!!!

 

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.
