Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Help me raise money for Dr. Kershaw's Hospice! As like many others, in the past few years, I have had family & friends that have been cared for by Dr. Kershaw's. This is because of the kindness & compassion the staff give to the patients and I feel it really did make their stay a happy one. 

I have entered The Great Manchester Swim + on the 19th of July. The challenge is the 1 mile open water swim at Salford Quays. Some of you may recall I entered this event 2 years ago & raised over £750. My time was 43 minutes. My aim is to beat this & achieve the swim in 30-35 minutes!

Now I'm 2 years stronger & have 2 years more practice! (forgetting the 2 years older.) I have practiced weekly at Royton Baths  & Salford Quays & I'm now quite familiar with the odd crisp packet or coke can bobbing past me! Whilst loosing my breath as the freezing water passes through my wetsuit.

Please will you support me & donate to Dr. Kershaw's so we can help them to continue to provide excellent facilities & care to patients & their families.

Thinking that & everyone's donations is what got me through the 1st swim and hopefully many more.

Thank You in advance.
