I am attempting to swim two miles to fundraise to build a school in Guder, Oromia, Ethiopia. I am secretary of WDEF and we have so far raised over half the funds we need to complete the building. I hadn't planned to do the swim, and am only confident I can swim a mile, but another swimmer dropped out and I thought I'd give it a go.

Whether I can complete the challenge or not, the school is a very good cause so I hope you will contribute. You can follow progress of the school build at workneh.org.uk.
