Every 5 minutes, someone dies from heart diseases in the UK. We need to tackle this problem head on, and we need to start today. Your donations will fund lifesaving medical research to find new treatments and cures. We need your help, until there are no more deaths from heart diseases.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It is almost a year since John died from a massive and unexpected heart attack. I wanted to do something positive and challenge myself and so this is it!  I'm swimming the channel (in Alfreton swimming baths mind!!)

I am starting on 30 August and have three months to complete around 1444 lengths....... I'm not a particularly fast or strong swimmer so wish me luck and please, please donate, its a very worthwhile cause and it will of course encourage me to complete the challenge.  Thanks lots xxx
