We provide emotional and practical support to families with a seriously ill child.

Story

Hi Everyone,

 

I am doing the Great North Swim (a mile in Windermere)on September 12th 2009 for The Rainbow Trust - A charity that works with terminally ill children and their parents and carers. I know things are a bit tighter for everyone at the moment so I'd really appreciate any small change you might have lying about. Call it a credit crunch sponsorship, a quid would do honestly.

I'm in total training mode at the moment and look great in my newly purchased wetsuit. When swimming last week I was mistaken for a whale whilst wearing it. A fine compliment I thought.

I will put some pictures on this when I have completed the swim.

Thanks very much for your support

Mathew
