A few years ago I could barely swim 2 lengths of the lido without swallowing all the water. Thanks to lessons from Lido Mike and support from great swimming buddies like Anna and the Windrush family  I'm now a bit of an open water lover. I signed up to swim this distance as it is the longest I will ever have swum and I wanted to use it to  support Frank water who run sustainable water improvement projects in India. My Grandpa used to build water infrastructure in Nigeria and I think the way Frank water go about their work is something he would approve of. When I swim long distances my mind drifts to people like my Grandpa and my mum who loved all things water related. I paid for the event myself so anything you donate goes straight to Frank water. 

Please donate what you can. A small donation of £2.50 could pay for the training of tribal people on plumbing and hand pump operations so they can maintain and repair their water systems in the future.
Just £30 could empower remote tribal people and their families in
Chhattisgarh with a water testing kit that could show whether their
drinking water is safe to drink. £48 could buy a family a rainwater collection kit and save them from the effects of flurosis which occurs 
when local supplies are too high in fluoride.
