For those of you that know us Sarah and I have spent quite a lot of time in a pool growing up. However, for both of us this will be the furthest we have swum in quite a long while! Our aim is to each complete the distance of the channel (in a pool) - which is 34km or 1360 lengths! This will be done over a 12 week period - but if we achieve our target before then we will keep churning out the lengths to try and raise as much money as possible.

We do not have any personal links with Myton Hospice, however the care that it provides to individuals and their families with terminal illness's is vital in our local community. Outlined below is what some of the money we hope to raise could contribute towards. We hope that you can support us on our venture! And if you are in the local area and fancy dropping by the pool a friendly face to keep us motivated will always be welcome!

Help us raise £5,500 at this years Swim for Myton!This will help ensure The Myton Hospices can continue to provide its services free of charge to people with a terminal or life limiting illness, and their families, when they need us most.This year they have to raise £7.8 million of the £10.5 million they need and cant do it without support from people like me and you. To reach their target of £5,500 they rely entirely on sponsorship. Have a look at the difference the money you raise will make: £50 covers the cost of two hours specialist nursing care£175 is the upkeep cost of our relatives accommodation for a week £460 will fund an inpatient bed for one day£2,000 would buy a patient specific recliner chair to enable patients to spend time out of bed. Thank you so much!
