Our personal message:

This September I will be swimming the channel to raise money for Myeloma UK. You can read about this little known but increasingly common form of cancer on the left hand side of this page.

I’ll be swimming as part of a team and we’ve been training hard since January.  The journey can take over 18 hours, you are at the mercy of the British weather and the water is absolutely freezing.  To make it more fun, the Channel Swimming Association has decided that it only counts if you wear Speedos... 

Our team has a blog where you can see updates of our training progress and photos of our some of cold water training/torture in Dover – http://swimteam2008.blogspot.com

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Myeloma UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Any contributions are most welcome and will be going towards a great cause.
