Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">Satellites swimmers would like to swim for the Christie Hospital in memory of and in support of all those connected with the club whose lives have been and continue to be affected by cancer.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">Cancer does not discriminate and can affect anyone at any time often with very little warning so please remember those Satellite members who have lost their battles and support those who are still fighting by raising as much sponsorship as possible whilst at the same time having fun.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">Satellites of Macclesfield are holding a sponsored T30. This is when members (including coaches and parents) swim as many lengths as they can in 30 minutes. Swimmers can swim any strokes; however different strokes will accrue different points. Each length of Freestyle and Backstroke will count as 1 point, Breaststroke will count as 2 points and Butterfly will count as 4 points. Prizes will be awarded to the swimmer in each squad who acquires the most points in 30 minutes. There will also be a prize for the coach and parent who score the most points.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;quot;Arial&amp;amp;quot;,&amp;amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;amp;quot;;">We are holding the event at 7.30pm on Monday 16 April 2012 at the beginning of the training session and really hope that you will get involved in this initiative. Any children who do not normally train at this time are welcome to come along and swim. </span></p>
