Great North Swim 2009 · 12 September 2009 ·

Living with deafblindness can be incredibly lonely, isolating and scary. Our specialist support helps people cope emotionally and practically. We listen, advise, care, support, coach, mentor and connect people. We help people to live better with sight and hearing loss.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

This is the second time I've completed an open water swim, the first time being a 2km swim across Laguna Bay in California.  This time is a little chillier though in Windermere!! as part of the Great North Swim 2009. I've been a swimmer since early school years and I still go to the local pool twice per week.  This is also a good introduction to Triathlon and a great way of doing my bit for the Deaf Blind organisation, who support people reliant on the help of others living with deaf and blindness to live their full potential.  Please help me to help others!

 

Oh and check out the page of the Great North Swim - http://www.greatswim.org/GNS/about-the-great-north-swim.html
