Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

 

The Bournemouth to Boscombe Pier to Pier race scheduled for Sunday 17th July had to be postponed due to severe weather conditions. Waves in excess of 2 metres on the morning or the swim and gusting 30mph winds clearly presented a safety risk.

The swim has now been rescheduled and will take place on Sunday 4th September - we can't wait!

Not only has this given us the chance to train really hard! but also the opportunity to tempt a few other people to sponsor us for such a worthy cause - thank you!

Lucy, Simon, Emma , Liz and myself are taking the plunge and swimming from Bournemouth - Boscombe Pier , a distance of 1.4 mile on Sunday 4th September.

Heart Diesease is the Uks biggest killer, so being involved in an organsied event for the Bristish Heart Foundation is one way of us helping to contribute to funding research for heart disease.

Just imagine - 5 supreme althletes in wetsuits glidiing throught the water on a beautifull summers afternoon. Failing that picture 4 ladies and a very supportive man pounding through the waves of Milford on Sea on a cold , very windy, rough July Thursday evening and you'll have some sense of how we've been preparing!!
