Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Watching the effects of Altziemers on my Gran over the years has had a huge impact on me, so much so that I want to give something back to help find a cure for this terrible disease.

Those of you who know me will know that I am not built for running, and having watched Robson Green's Wild Water Swimming (where he nearly died!), I thought - "I can do that!"

So on Sunday, 19th June 2011, I am going to be taking part in the British Gas Great North Swim to raise money for the Altziemer's Society.

I will be swimming one mile in Lake Windermere, and am hoping to achieve the distance in under one hour.

All support will be gratefully received.

So please dig deep and donate now.
