Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Great North Swim is a 1 mile, open water swim in Lake Windermere. I am regular swimmer and have been swimming to keep fit for over 20 years but have never done any distance in a cold lake.Training at my local pool has been going well by doing longer distances than normal, but I have just come back from holiday where I have gained 6 pounds and broke a toe. I still intend to complete the challenge without a wetsuit If possible.

The charity I am supporting gave my friends Tony and Cath Bell much needed help and advice when their son, Jack, developed a rare form epilepsy and any amount would be gratefull.  Thanks again. Paul.
