Story

<div><em><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">CLICK "READ MORE" TO SEE PROGRESS UPDATES.</span></strong></em></div> <div>I am taking part in Emunah's "Share Your Simcha" scheme to raise money for Emunah's Sarah Herzog Children's Centre in Afula. Once a year, Emunah organise a grand communal Bar/Bat mitzvah celebration, for all the 12/13 year olds in their care. By sponsoring me you will be helping these young people celebrate a very special day to remember and a chance for a better life and a happier future.</div> <div>I would like to go to Israel and swim the Kinneret, but as I can't go there now I am going to swim the distance here in Bushey.</div> <div>So how big is the Kinneret?</div> <div>It's 12km across (at the widest part)which is 480 lengths in the pool. I will keep you up to date with my progress.</div> <div>Thank you for sponsoring me and helping me to raise money for Emunah.</div> <div>Lots of love,</div> <div>Yona xx</div> <div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">UPDATES </span></strong></span></div> <div><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>10th July I have taken the plunge and did 60 lengths.
