My personal message:

Thanks for visiting my Amnesty International fundraising page. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure.

THE EVENT SUMMARY:  SWIM Across Lake Geneva on Saturday 23rd August. (THATS NEXT SATURDAY!)
Route = Nyon (CH) to Nernier (FR).
Aproximately 6km, give or take a few wrong directions!
Suport given by a small boat and for a part by a few keen swimmers.
'Photos will be distributed post the event'

The cause: Human rights defenders are persecuted by Chinese Authorities for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression, association and information.
e.g. Journalist and poet Shi Tao serving a 10 year prison sentence for sending an email with information about the Chinese government's instructions to journalists on how to cover 15th anniversary of the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square.
