GREAT NORTH SWIM CANCELLED!
Unfortunately due to blue green algae (??) the great north swim has been cancelled. We are not sure if it will be rearranged yet or rolled over to next year. Without a doubt I will still be swimming in the rearranged swim (more time to train and beat my husband!) Big thanks to all of you who have donated so far - you are all brilliant - and I WILL DO YOU PROUD when I actually get to swim.
At 58 my mum was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers. Today, three years later, she does not walk or talk.
She still has a beautiful smile though. The support the Alzheimer’s society have given our family has been fantastic and their help invaluable. On September 5th I am going to be doing the Great North Swim to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. The swim is 1 mile in the very big, very deep and very dark (and very full of scary things that touch your face when you are swimming) Lake Windermere. I'm a little bit scared! If you’d like to sponsor me to help raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society that would be great A Big Massive thank you. Andrea Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
