Well they did it! David did the 1500m and did it in 38.3 mins even though he went off course a little which cost him time but it was poor visibility! in there very murky!.... well done both of you it was a great day! Both of them also made a TV appearance on Calendar! if you missed it here is the Link!!!
Jonathan Did the swim on the 30th of April 2011, he swam an incredible 800 metres which is Half a Mile! 36 full lengths well done ! he is only 6 years old and is to young too swim in the main event so had been allowed to swim the 500m at his local pool, while his Dad will swim in the 1500m at the event in open water at Pugneys country park, Wakefield on the 10th of July 2011. All donations, sponsors grateful and very much appreciated.
Thanks!
please pass this on to anyone you think would sponsor team Thurston...
Jonathan has done lots of things for charity, this one was prompted by a leaflet at hospital about the swim, Granny has Type 1 Diabetes and her sister Jill had it too, sadly she is no longer with us, so it is an important cause not only to us but thousands of others! so Jonathan wants to swim for them all and has got his Dad to do the swim too....
