Story

I am probably mad but I am going to attempt the 21 mile sponsored swim to raise money for JDRF.  Type 1 diabetes is a challenge for everyone who lives with the condition, every day, and I want to do something extraordinary to help support the cause that I love.  One day we will live in a world without type 1 diabetes and I aim to do all I can to get us to that day as soon as possible.

I am going to be joined by my two sons who will humiliate me by swimming the 21 miles much faster and better than I can!
