Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm taking part in the 2010 Zürich Seeüberquerung (Zurich Lake Crossing) and swimming the 1400m from the start point at Wollishofen to the end point at Tiefenbrunnen.  Last year I did it in 54 minutes - let's see if I can do it faster this time!

I've decided to do it for a good cause this year, and in memory of my dad, Ray Kelly, who died in April this year.  He loved children and had great admiration for doctors and nursing staff who looked after sick kids.  He was also a keen swimmer!

After he died, we gave the donations we received to the Imagine Appeal at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool and it is this charity that I will be swimming for in July.

It is scheduled for the 7th July but there is provision for dates on 14th July and 25th August if the weather is bad.

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.

Wish me luck!
