Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Update 24 June 2012: Due to extreme weather, the 2 mile swim heats planned for Friday were postponed. I've achieved over my target fundraising in just 10 days and folks still want to donate to support the important ongoing work of Fylde Coast Women's Aid. Therefore, I'm planning to swim the 2 miles against the clock in the pool instead (no requirement for fair weather) and am also part of a team entering the NHS Triathlon.

I was going the EXTRA mile this year by swimming 2 miles in the Great North Swim in Lake Windermere.

I'm again raising funds for Fylde Coast Women's Aid as they continue to support women, children & families dealing with domestic abuse.

FCWA provides specialist support and guidance for women trying to cope, understand and escape from abuse - and the range of impacts it has on individuals, their children and families.

Domestic Abuse is still very poorly understood, is frequently denied and often mis-handled. FCWA can support more women and children with YOUR much needed help and support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
