I decided to participate in this swim as it will soon be the 2nd Anniversary of my Grandma passing away. Like myself my Grandma was a keen swimmer and lifesaver in her youth and I think she would have been very proud that I am helping others less fortunate than myself....

Thank you to everyone for supporting me and the charity, Marie Curie, which is one of Swimathon's and The Great North Swim's chosen charities,..
