Dear friend,

Thank you for visiting my Great East Swim sponsor page.

By accepting the challenge of 'The Great East Swim' I am attempting to emulate my own achievement from 1983, that of swimming 1 mile unaided. Some said then that it was surely not possible, but I not only achieved the distance but legend has it was also the first home on the day beating a glittering gallery of Lawford C of E all-comers with representatives from both J4 and J4C.

But time and tide (no pun intended) waits for no man and the sands of time have drifted a thousand miles from that heady day in Colchester (pre leisure world) where celebrations were muted to a post swim purchase of KP discos using 10p locker money.

This swim will have the added excitement of the open water. No security blanket of Tom Davis in his desert spats at one end of the pool ready to pull you out with a WW2 service stick if required. No the rough and unchartered water of Tattingstone Reservoir await.

So I am asking you to dig deep and contribute to my cause. It will be heartening to know that as well as Nee-Tidy, Lucy and little Rowan cheering from the side that you chaps will be willing me on as well. Like Neil Armstrong so far from earth, the backing of the many so far away will surely see me through.

Lovely
