I'll be doing most of my swimming in Clevedon Marine Lake (pictured). 22 miles is equivalent to swimming the English Channel.

Like many people, I have friends with Type 1 diabetes and relatives and friends who have developed Type 2. They have to take extra care of themselves. Diabetes UK helps with this.
