Story

A big thanks to everyone who sponsored myself and Matt for the swim. I'm happy to announce that I survived AND completed the swim in a personal best time on 3hrs 28mins!! (In fact, my only time....) Mouth stayed closed and swans were avoided; and happy to say Vinny that you didnt have to double your money!

We will leave it up to someone else (NOT Iain Bart's) to sort out the next event!

Oh, BIG thanks to the boat crews, without them we would have not swam in a straight line........

On 26th July, myself and Matt swam 5.25 mile in Derwent water (lake district) to raise money for St Margaret's Somerset Hospice. All donations have been greatly appreciated!...............

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Margaret's Somerset Hospice 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. Also if you have time, please check out Matt's page on www.justgiving.com/matthoughton



So please sponsor me now!
