My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I have had to update this page to increase my fundraising target as the response has been overwhelming!

It is over 10 years since I last did a Swimathon. The distance is 5000m or 200 lengths of your local pool. Training now has started in earnest, and if anyone fancies joining me for a 100 lengths just give me a shout!. It should take me around 2 hours on the day- assuming I make it to the end. Greenhouse is a great charity- right up my street- underprivileged kids and sport. So forget the credit crunch and dig deep.

Cheers Dicky
