My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to swim the Great North Swim on behalf of DeafBlind UK, being Deaf or Blind is incomprehensible to most of us, so being both is something I can not even begin to understand. As such I feel it is a Charity I would like to do my best to help raise money and help raise awareness of a problem which has been described as 'the loneliest condition in the world'.


I will be partaking in the Great North Swim on Sunday the 13th of September, It is a 1 mile swim in lake Windermere. I have bought my wetsuit of eBay (I intend to give it a good wash when it arrives) and begun training.

Anything you can give to help DeafBlind UK will be gratefully received and help to motivate me around what will undoubtedly be a very cold swim.

Thanks again,

James
