 ********************** UPDATE  *******  I DID IT!!!************************
On Sept 24th I swam from Dover to Calais in 17hrs 55mins 

Check out the full story at www.peteswims.com

Why? To raise money for the fabulous Penny Field School in Leeds. So they can buy a much needed Minibus to take the disabled kids out to exciting places like normal kids do!!

My eldest son Archie has profound special needs and attends Penny Field. This brilliant school is a vital lifeline for so many kids like Archie, and the fantastic staff do all they can to ease pain and help the kids learn and enjoy life as much as humanly possible.

But........they need a new minibus so all the special needs kids can go an enjoy the world around them - visit farms, swimming pools, the countryside - you name it.

AND YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Friends of Penny Field 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 help make a real difference and sponsor me now!

Cheers

Pete
