My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

On Saturday 4th August 2007, brothers Mark and Richard Walsh are embarking on the Lakes Long Distance Swim Challenge.
Money raised will go to Guide Dogs for the Blind so they can buy a tandem to enable them to take a visually impaired athlete on Le Tour Challenge "in the Tyre Tracks of Champions 2007" and future events.

The challenge will begin in Lake Windermere, continuing in a clockwise fashion around the Lake District National Park and the waters listed below finishing in Haweswater Reservoir on Sunday 5th.

To our knowledge this would be the first time for such a challenge has been undertaken.

The Lakes are:

1.  Windermere

2.  Coniston Water

3.  Wast Water

4.  Ennerdale

5.  Crummock

6.  Buttermere

7.  Derwent

8.  Basenthwaite

9.  Thirlmere

10. Ullswater

11. Haweswater

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Guide Dogs 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 us now!

Many thanks for your support.
