My story

 
Hi everyone,

As you may already know, Rebecca and I are swimming a mile in Lake Windermere in September. Whilst we both like swimming we tend to prefer it in the more controlled, by which I mean warmer, context of an indoor swimming pool. This is going to be quite a challenge for both of us - Rebecca's a bit nesh and I'm not overly sporty. We're raising money for Sheffield Hospital Charitable Trust because this will help give funds to places like the Macmillan palliative care unit at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield who took such good care of my Dad for the last weeks of his life. I'm very grateful to all the team there.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.
