Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I decided to enter the Great North Swim to set myself a challenge for the year, but also because I wanted to raise money for Pendleside Hospice.  Since setting up this page, a good friend has been admitted to the Hospice, which has made me more determined to complete the swim and break my fundraising target - so please help out if you can

thank you

Sam :-)
