Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may, or may not know, I've decided to take part in the Great North Swim on 14th June 2013. I'll be taking part in the two mile swim... sounds easy, right?

Wrong.

I read somewhere that each mile you swim is the equivalent to seven miles of running... plus it's in the oh-so cold Lake Windermere - there's no heated pool or sides to rest on when I want to!

Please give what you can and support my chosen charity - it's a disease that affects so many people, including my own family.

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. Thanks so much!
