As you may know, I work for Break Charity and I am part of a team taking part in this Swimarathon on Saturday 10th February, the day before my 70th birthday.

Katy has helped me set up this page as this was beyond my clearly waning powers.

I will be swimming feet first as I think it will bring a smile to a number of faces and I think that’s not a bad thing in these troubled times.

If you are able to support me, that’s great. If not, please know I understand we all do what we can, when we can.

This is me doing just that and hoping for a good outcome for the children we support.

You can even turn up at 13:00 and cheer me on if you are at a loose end.

All proceeds will go to local West Norfolk charities, such as Break, and other good causes.
