My story

 

Thanks so much for visiting my fundraising page. 

I have now completed my English Channel Swim!  On the 2nd August 2009, I left Shakespeare Beach in Dover and swam for 12hrs 35mins before reaching Cap Blond-Nez in France.  I cannot explain the feeling inside me when my feet touched the sand.  It was so rough that I couldn't see how far from the beach I actually was - only when my hands scraped the sand, did I realise I had reached France.  I will never ever forget it.  However, I will also never ever forget the reason I have done this challenge.  So far the amount of money that has been donated is incredible....  I can't thank everyone enough, and for those that do not really know Africa, you have no idea how much this money is going to make a difference. 

Thank you so very much to everyone that has donated......  If you have not done so, please please find it in your heart to spare a few pounds. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: WEZIMBABWE 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 me now! 

Thank you,

Jacqui.
