My story

 
Thanks for looking at this page - Robert Harris was the son of some very good friends of mine who was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in July last year.  Through their experience, it would seem that there is still much to learn about treating tumours in children and so anything we can do to further that body of knowledge has got to be a good thing.  Sadly, Robert died just after Christmas last year, so we decided that swimming Derwent Water would be a good way of raising money to help support the research that is being done at the University of Nottingham into less damaging ways of treating these tumours.

On Saturday 25th July, we're swimming Derwent Water, all 5km of it, to try and raise as much cash as we can - all support really gratefully received and, in fact, if you want to swim too then just give me a call and it can be arranged! 07836 618303

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: University of Nottingham 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.

So please sponsor us now!
