On Saturday 5th October I will be swimming 2km for Macmillan Cancer Support. The swim is at Tooting Bec Lido, an outdoor, 100 yard long, unheated pool and I shall be swimming my very inefficient breaststroke, so I will not be one of the fast finishers.

Will you sponsor me? Don't feel you need to give a big donation - every little helps.
