Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On the 10th of June 2017 a  group of brave, fearless and possibly barmy swimmers will take to the waters of Lake Windermere to complete a one mile open water challenge.  This will involve facing icy temperatures, extremely flattering wetsuits and choppy waters all in the name of raising an astonishing amount of money for Vicky's Fund for Victim Support.

So far, Lisa, Lindsey, Paul, Sharon, Danielle, James, Natalie, Hannah & Chris are all signed up.. And we are so thankful to everyone taking part in memory of Vicky. If you want to join us - just sign up!

Vicky's Fund is a pot of money which supports families affected by the loss of  a loved one due to murder or manslaughter.  It was set up after the murder of Vicky Wynne-Jones, and in the past has helped with everything from a birthday party for a little girl who had lost both her parents, to flight tickets for a family from abroad who's relative was killed in the UK, to Christmas presents and more; anything to help make a difficult time just that little bit easier to cope with.

Please, please dig deep, and support our courageous bunch in their challenge- every penny will make a difference to someone when they need it the most. And if anyone would like to come along and cheer us on on the day you're more than welcome too- we enter the water at 2 o'clock.
