McSwimathon · 22 March 2013

Destination Florida is a charity that works with children, who have life threatening and life limiting medical conditions. This amazing charity organises life enhancing biannual holidays to Florida for around 75 children from across the north of the United Kingdom.

Story

We did it!  We, the Shaw-Mason-Turners, completed our Swimathon deep in the Scottish Highlands! We swam a total of just over 14 Kilometres between us in 2 hours.  Take a look at our short video below.  Many thanks for all your support.  There is still time to donate.  All your money will go directly to the children's charity Destination Florida who take poorly children on the holiday of a lifetime.

May all their dreams come true.

The Results:

Dr Alan Shaw, aged 'has a bus pass'. Swam 71 lengths (won a fresh Apple for supreme effort and for using the unique jelly-fish stroke)

Ian Mason, aged 45.  Swam 154 lengths.

Zulie Mason, aged 39.  Swam 196 lengths.

Zain Mason, aged 8. Swam 138 lengths.

Ash Mason, aged 6. Swam 70 lengths.

Giles Turner, aged 40.  Swam 308 lengths (and won a can of Boddies and a Banana for being the top swimmer).

Victoria Turner, aged 41.  Swam 166 lengths.

Emily Turner, aged 7. Swam 149 lengths.

Ethan Turner, aged 9. Swam 216 lengths.

Destination Florida take seriously ill children to Florida every 2 years for the holiday of a lifetime. We aim to raise the amount it costs to take one child: £2000.  They take around 75 children on each trip. They bring these children sunshine, fun and miles of smiles! They do amazing things and we want to support them all we can.
