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.
So please dig deep and donate now.
I must be insane to be doing this. I didn't even swim in the Solent in the summer and now I am planning to do it on New Year's day!
I used to do a 2k swim,
In a heated pool at a private gym.
Now I'm going to brave the cold,
To help those that were so bold.
For they have risked life and limb,
I think I'll manage a little swim!
This is an annual event which is organised by the local Inland Rescue service to raise money for charities, not just their own, any charity is welcome to join in. I decided to take part in the event to raise money for Help for Heroes as it is a charity that is close to my heart and one that I have never really contributed to except spectating at sports events and buying a rubber wristband. To be able to raise such a fantastic amount of money whilst challenging myself is wonderful.
A huge thank you to all that donated! I did it :) xx xx xx
