Hi, My names Tilly and I am 11 years old...soon to be 12. I am swimming half a mile at the Great North Swim in lake Windemere to raise money for Stroke Association. Stroke Association helped my Grandad who died this time last year and I will be swimming in his memory. We shared the same birthday and I will be 12 on the day of the swim. I will probably be the youngest swimmer at the event as you have to be 12 to take part!  

I am not a club swimmer and have just started open water swimming for fun. I won't be fast, but I just want to raise money and enjoy my birthday in the Lake. I have an amazing Aqua Sphere wetsuit and goggles, which have been given to me for the event! I feel really lucky. 

Please sponsor me for this great cause. 

Thank you very much 

Tilly
