Well, this years charity sporting challenge is a swim or 2 in a river and lake for half an hour or so, should be a breeze I hear you cry, mm not sure about that, getting into the very fetching wetsuit is a challenge in itself .After that is done I'll be swimming for a mile in the beautiful Thames on July 3 and Lake Windermere in September.

 

I'm doing it for diabetes UK this year and I know that many of you already are up to your eyes with sponsoring people for all sorts so no worries if you can't but if you feel that you'd like to, here is how....

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.
