I've done Race for Life, I've done the Midnight Walk, thought it was time for something a bit more challenging (plus seems unfair to deprive the world of the sight of me in a wet suit, see photo!). This is a 1500m swim in Pugney's lake on 17th June.

I'm raising money for MacMillan who do fantastic work so all donations would be appreciated.

You can also donate by text. Just text my code TALC88 (remember - talc to get me into the wet suit and 2 fat ladies - what I'll look like when I'm in it!) plus your donation to 70070 eg TALC88 £2.

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.
