Almost three years ago we were on the top of Grassmoor in the Lake District when my partner, Vicky, was struck by lightning, without Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team she would not be here. So I am going to try and swim a mile in icy cold windermere to raise much needed funds for all the Lake District MRTs.
