Story

In the autum of 2011 I spent a very sad week at St Mary's Hospice Ulverston where my father-out-law Peter passed away.  St Marys was a truly amazing place, and to celebrate my 32nd birthday I'm going to raise some money for them.

New Date: 24th August 2013

I can't run, I've already shaved my head, but I can swim, and I am an eejit, so clearly my only option is to swim across Ullswater, the longerest lake in the UK.

To make it a little more challenging I'll not be wearing a wetsuit, or indeed much at all. I'll be swimming across in my pants.

If you donate £50 or more, you can write your name or company on my with a Sharpie too.
