My story

 

Woohoo - I did it!  On Saturday 12th of September I took part in the Great North Swim, a one mile, open water swim in England's largest lake.  The water was a cool 16 degrees C and I completed the swim in 46 mins and 10 secs.  And the best part is that I didn't need to be rescued by one of the life boats!  I'm very pleased to have done it and am really proud to have been raising money for such a fantastic cause.

RAFT (the Restoration of Appearance and Function Trust), is an independent research charity in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery.  RAFT is made up of an extremely hard working and dedicated team of researchers and fundraisers currently working on projects involving the development of an artificial skin for severe skin traumas, and a skin cancer prevention and cure project.  Any donations you give will be very much appreciated by everyone at RAFT and will make a real difference to the cutting edge research that they do.  So on behalf of everyone at RAFT, thank you for any donation you can make.

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.  Thank you.
