Thank you very much to everyone who has donated & supported me. The page is now closed to donations & after an initial target of £200, I am proud to say the final total raised including cash donations made at Horsforth Museum was £1010. The Cenotaph lighting will be switched on at a ceremony on Monday 20th March at 7.15pm, please come along if you can. Thank you, Ethan.

I'm pleased to say I completed my swim this evening & with £80 raised offline I have raised £1000 in total so thank you to everyone who generously donated. I would also like to thank GSAL, for the use of the pool, Alex Roberts, Joe Moss, Seth Hartley & Nathan Chaplow for their help tonight, Susan Watson, the members of the Royal British Legion, Mr Bovington & all those who came to support me. On March 20th at 7.15pm the Cenotaph lights will be officially switched on, please come along & see what your donations have supported.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to my page, my wrist fracture delayed my swim but has meant that as the page stayed open I have exceeded my initial target. My swim will take place on Tuesday 28th February at GSAL - Leeds Grammar School - who have generously waived the usual fee for pool hire. This page will close following the swim & it would be great to reach £1000 before then. So please consider donating, no matter how small & share my page with friends & family who have links to Horsforth. Thank you, Ethan.

I was honoured to be invited to speak at the remembrance service at Horsforth Cenotaph today. I was also privileged to accept the new Community Cup on behalf of all the lads involved in 'The Pals' project & our teacher James Bovington, who had been instrumental in all the projects we have undertaken to remember the men of Horsforth who sacrificed their lives for us.
