French Bothering · 7 August 2017

Motor Neurone Disease moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every day we support people affected by MND. We fund ground-breaking research. We campaign for better care. We’re here for everyone who needs us. Because with MND, every day matters.

Story

Someone very, very important to me lost someone very, very important to her to this shi**y disease, so I wanted to do something.

What I'm actually going to do is swim a channel relay (swimming from England to France as part of team) - twice.

The first is a four-person relay which will hopefully take place at the end of August. In it we will swim for an hour each and I expect to get 3 or 4 swims (so four hours of swimming).

The second is a two-person relay at the end of September. For this one we will swim for two hours at a time and again I expect to swim 4 times, however this will mean eight hours of swimming.

If you think that this is something that is worth a few pennies then please donate. Thank you.

UPDATE

The four-person relay was successfully completed:

Unfortunately the two-person relay won't be happening. I'm trying to organise to swim a length of Windermere instead (10.5 miles). But if anyone wants their donation back please get in touch.

UPDATE - 26th Sept
