<p>BIG Thank you to everyone who sponsored me, I raised just under &pound;180 but with gift aid it took it over &pound;200. I really can't thank you enough.&nbsp;</p> <p>As some of you will already know, I managed a grand total of 12 lengths in just under 50 minutes, I had a hour but this body just wouldn't go beyond the 12 lengths. But I now know what to do every day to help the sleeping problem, swim until I cannot go any further and do it 2 days running, I then slept for 2 hours straight without waking up.. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously though I cannot tell you all how overwelmed I felt when I worked out how much you sponsored me, I truly feel remarkable to have friends and family like you. Thank you again.</p> <p>Helen</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I realise money is tight for everyone at the moment but please if you could spare &pound;5 or even &pound;10 I would be extremely grateful.</p> <p>I have been volunteered to swim with the Disabled swimming club at Newport Pagnel, I will be part of a team but we hope to swim a minimum of 100 lengths in an hour, which will equate to about 15-20 lengths for me. This will be a huge achievement for me so please help.</p> <p>As most of you know I had spinal surgery 7 years ago and since then I have had ongoing problems with my back and legs. Swimming has become a theraputic release for me, I now exercise twice a week with the club and the benefits are great.</p> <p>We are raising money for the Ratary Club who in turn sponsor the folowing :</p> <p>Willen Hospice, MK Age UK, Community Cardiac Group, MK Museum, REMAP, The Mayors Charity, City Counselling Centre.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
