Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Great North Swim was cancelled due to weather, so I have moved my event to the Great Scottish Swim, this was cancelled due to water quality issues (50 out of 60 swimmers took ill the previous week).  I am now swimming 1.4 miles across the Firth of Forth, just outside Edinburgh.

Project Ability is an organisation close to my heart. My wife Tracy has worked there for over 11 years and I have seen the impact that art has made to many of the participants who attend the Project. It is truely a unique place, supporting people of all ages with disabilies, to make art....anyone who has visited their gallery will know the great work that is produced.

As many of you know, I have competed in many swimming event in the past, however open water swimming is a relatively new venture for me and this challenge will be no mean feat! I'd really appreciate any donation you could make to support my challenge, and Project Ability.
