Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Instead of setting New Year Resolutions, I set myself a target to be well enough and fit enough to join The Aspire Channel Swim challenge this year. I've been swimming at Ilkley pool regularly and can now swim 76 lengths in one hour. All I have to do now is swim 120 lengths each week.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ASPIRE 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 sponsor me now!
21 Sept:
I've really enjoyed my first week swimming - 3 sessions totaling 226 lengths. I wear a simple 'abacus' on my wrist to help me keep count of the lengths - thank you Serena for giving me that. I'm ahead of my weekly target and looking forward to completing the challenge in less than 12 weeks.
30 Sept:
Just completed length no. 504 - swimming well!
19 Oct: I was fighting a cold at the beginning of the month, but back on track again now. I have completed 730 lengths to date - over half way now.
31 Oct: I have just swum 90 lengths in 65 mins - total lengths I have completed so far = 1036. Not far to go now.
