Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity. And importantly, if you pay income tax you can add a further 25% to your donation, courtesy of the tax man, and it will cost you nothing to do so.

Greenwich Mind offers a place to go and lots of information for anyone suffering from dementia or mental health problems in South East London. There is no charge for these services. Since the lockdowns their services are in continual increased demand.

THE MONEY RAISED HERE WILL BE USED TO FUND MINDFULLNESS MEDITATION CASSES AT GREENWICH MIND WELL INTO THE FUTURE.

My dear wife has moderate dementia and I attend Mindfullness meditation, a great way for anyone to relax, especially if you are a full time carer like me.

I am a regular swimmer at Charlton Lido. I used to be a long distance swimmer and have swum the English Channel 3 times. But at 75 years old that might be a struggle to do now!

2 miles will take me around 2 hours to complete and it will be on MONDAY 19TH AUGUST from 9.00am. This will also celebrate the 40th Anniversary of my 1984 solo Channel Swim. I'll update with further details as we get nearer the date.

Thank you for your support and donations.
