Story
Cllr Ellen Crumly, Town Mayor of Thatcham is attempting to swim the distance of the English Channel- a whopping 33km!

Please sponsor Thatcham's wonderful, enthusiastic Mayor as ALL proceeds will be equally divided between her nominated charities of The Rosemary Appeal and Young People & Children First. The Rosemary Appeal which is raising money for a new Renal Dialysis and Treatment Centre at the West Berkshire Community Hospital. See www.rosemaryappeal.org . Young People and Children First helps foster care leavers as they move on to independent living. See www.youngpeopleandchildrenfirst.org.uk

6 years agoI'm delighted to announce that I have just completed the last few lengths and have now swum 33 km in total in a swimming pool- the distance of the English Channel! All lengths have been verified by a member of staff. As you can see I'm slightly short of my target and so if you can share this among friends, family and colleagues I will be very grateful. The Rosemary Appeal Dialysis Unit is a lifesaving asset which will affect many people in our town and Young People & Children First looks after those most vulnerable needing a start in life.
