Swim the Distance this November · 6 November 2017

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I saw the Swim The Distance campaign online and thought I'd give the challenge a go, since its a good cause, will push me to my limit and able bodied as I am, then why not help those who unfortunate enough to be stricken with the circumstances of living with lung cancer, by raising what I can to support those and help research into detecting this earlier in people. With the job I'm in, I meet a lot of people and while Ive not personally had anyone affected from this, hearing there sad stories is enough for me to try and help anyway I can. With that I'll be aiming for the top choice of the marathon distance of 26 miles by the end of the month, so aiming for 100 lengths a day, while also stopping the alcohol and smoking in the process!
