My story

 

Hi

I've decided to enter the Great North Swim on Saturday 12th September, my first attempt at Open Water Swimming (*except for a paddle in the River Derwent), setting off at 9.00am across Lake Windermere (approximately a mile in distance) and I am genuinely in (some kind of) training to complete the event in the best time I can.  Its the UK's biggest mass participation open water swim.  You can find out more about the swim at: http://www.greatswim.org/

My chosen charity is Water For Kids, http://waterforkids.org.uk/, providing clean water for children in a number of countries across the globe, keeping in with the water theme thrown up by my chosen event, and hopefully raising funds for a valuable cause.


Please feel free to donate even a small amount, or at least leave me a message of support, ridicule or whatever (within reason) you feel fit. 


Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.  If you'd prefer to sponsor me offline then please contact me at timhorwood@hotmail.co.uk or in person. 


Thanks for your time.

Tim
