Update 19th November - I did it!!...I completed the swim in 1hr 29mins & 55 Seconds, well within the 2hr limit & a time that I was really pleased with!...Maybe I'm not to old for 2012 after all...

A huge thankyou to every one that sponsored me, your generosity spurred me on to get through the 200 lengths, it was tough at times but the fact that so much money was being raised made every last stroke well worth the effort.

Thanks again for everyones support, All the best, Shaun.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ovarian cancer action gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. The payments are made at the time of donation, but don't worry I promise to do the swim!!

As you may know my Mum was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer earlier this year & she has recently finished a course of Chemotherapy, So please please sponsor me & help make a difference to a worthy cause....

On 19th November 2008 I will be attempting a 5km/200 length swim in a 25m pool. I'll be aiming to complete it within 2 hours which will be tough for a 37 year old who has never done anything like this before!! Please feel free to pass this on to anyone else who may like to support me.

Thanks in advance, & wish me luck, I'll need it!!...All the best, Shaun.
