Story

Hi guys,

On Sat 11th October 08, I am going to be swimming 1.5km in the nicely chilled (12-14.C) Lake Windermere, in aid of the YMCA's Don't Duck The Issue. This campaign acts in support of the YMCA's Homelessness Strategy. In Lancaster there are currently 120 young people aged 16-18 yrs that are either homeless, in no settled accommodation or living away from the family.

I will also be collecting for ASPIRE, a charity that supports people with spinal injuries. Due to my own disobedient and hacked to pieces spine (2 operations down and a 2 level fusion in sight!!!!) this is a cause close to my heart.

Any pennies or pounds that you can spare will be greatly received!

If i reach my target of £300, i will personally donate £100!

Thanks to everyone who has already sponsored me through cash donations and this site. You are bloody brilliant!


Cheers Everyone!
