Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page. I am swimming 1 mile on June the 14th 2013 in the Great North Swim in Lake Windermere. I am dedicating the swim to my father Jack (Murphy) Hardstaff, on the 10th anniversary of his death. I am sure Dad would have been proud of me raising hopefully over £1,000 for Macmillan cancer support. Dad left me and I am sure everybody in the family, probably some of the best memories in their lives. So, please donate whatever you can. Oh I can hear dad saying now, ‘and for Christ sake lad, take it steady’. Thank you Brian.

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.
