Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
We are three outdoor swimmers taking on the challenge of swimming a mile every hour for 24 hours in Loch Venachar in Scotland. Without wetsuits!!!
Why? To raise money for Antibiotic Research UK. Last a year a good friend of mine, Rob, lost a good friend of his, Maco to a hospital superbug, resistant to all known antibiotics. He went into hospital for a routine treatment and never came out. Despite the intense grief Rob is feeling, he is channelling this heart ache into something positive and is working with Antibiotic Research UK to raise money for their vital work on antibiotic resistance.
This swim challenge, we hope, will go some way to helping raise some money for this amazing cause to stop so many others (44,000 a year) succumbing needlessly to superbugs.
