Thanks for visiting our Just Giving page.
With your support we hope our swim, scheduled for 6th – 12th August 2009, will be a big success and in doing so we can raise a decent sum of money for Just a Drop, a charity that provides safe clean drinking water to some of the world’s most needy people.
Neither of us are experienced long distance swimmers, in fact it is the first time we have attempted anything like this but, inspired by David Walliams and James Cracknell, we believe we can do it ! The swim from Spain to Morocco is 12 miles (20km) and on the way we expect to be dodging waves, whales, sharks and ships. We will be accompanied on the crossing by a support boat, kindly sponsored by Royal Air Maroc, however we are not allowed any contact with it apart from receiving drinks bottles thrown on a line! Strong winds, chilly water and fast tidal currents are the main challenges but we hope the training we’re doing will give us a good chance of making it.
Giving money in the current climate is not easy but whatever you can donate WILL make a difference to the lives of people less well off than we are.
Thanks for your support! Ian & Rob.
