Simply .... Sam was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes aged nine and a half.  It's a horrible disease that requires management 24/7, with short and long term health consequences and is only managed by use of a drug that can kill him if we get it wrong.  WE NEED A CURE.

Please support me in raising valuable funds for JDRF, the only Type 1 charity and the major funder of all forms of research into Type 1 Diabetes.

To raise funds, I'm seeking your sponsorship to swim the distance of the English Channel - all 21 miles - over a period of 12 weeks in my local swimming pool.  The challenge starts on 9 January 2017 (or when I find swimming costume I'm willing to be seen wearing in public!).  I will do the challenge rather sitting and watching Sam at swimming and will need to average about 120 lengths per week in a 25m pool!!!  You know I will keep you updated with my progress online (LOL!).

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you so much.
