As most of you know Ive been trying to lose weight for the last 5-6 Months,which is going well with 6 Stone missing, Im also trying to get fitter by doing stupid things like running, and now this...

The reason I'm doing it for Charity is, because I'm not slogging my backside off for free! I appreciate every single donation and every word of encouragement given along the way. If it wasn't for my Family and friends this "Journey" would be a dam site harder. I will be doing this Swim with a close friend of mine however Im not dragging her into this.

Im doing this for EMICS because as you all know Im a Dispatch Officer, I dispatch this group of amazing people, Doctors that all have there own day jobs, families and commitments,  but by night and in their spare time they respond at the drop of a hat, to people who need the most critical Pre Hospital care, working alongside them proves to me there are some amazing people still out there.

Ive stolen this from there website:

All EMICS doctors receive no payment for their work with EMICS, working voluntarily over and above their normal general practice or hospital work. They work alongside and in support of paramedics and crews from the East Midlands Ambulance Service, as and when they are available.
Although all the doctors work for EMICS on a totally voluntary basis, the Scheme, which is a registered charity, urgently needs to raise funds to purchase more of the specialist equipment that the doctors carry so that more doctors can be recruited. EMICS is entirely funded by donations from members of the public and legacies; there is no funding from any government source.

The target I have set is not important, Im doing this for myself most of all, However if I can raise a couple of quid for a Charity that have huge amounts of respect for along the way, then its a win win :) 

Thanks for taking the time to read this and feel free to donate (but you don't have to)

Thanks Gaz :) x
