** Update - Great East Swim completed in 35 minutes and 39 seconds**

Great North Swim ready for 5th September - aim is for sub 25 minutes.

 

As many of you know, I am a heroic and sporty individual who can leap tall buildings and wrestle lions and suchforth. What few of you will know is that I cannot swim. All those years as a lifeguard were exceptionally challenging.

 

In order to conquer my fear of the water, I will be swimming a full english mile on lake Windemere, for the Great North Swim, 5th September 2010.

 

I'm looking to take advantage of this event to raise a bit of cash for those charity types, so I'd like you to give some of your hard earned to Help for Heroes. Despite giving alot for this country alot of soldiers simply don't get the support they need, so a few quid from you could help out someone who's given an awful lot.

 

If you are local to Sheffield, and want to help out there instead/as well, then try www.justgiving.com/city-hearts where money is also greatly appreciated.

 

Don't worry donating on this site is secure, and you won't get spam mail from it. You can also put gift aid on top (which is 28% on top).

 

Hugs and kisses

 

Dave

 

For those who are worried, I can actually swim pretty well. Don't worry.
