Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In a moment of madness I talked myself into doing an open water swim when I started swimming again earlier this year. Then it escalated!  I am now doing the Great North Swim :)  So far, I have subjected myself to howling gales and freezing temperatures and the indignity of an unfeasibly tight wetsuit.  If these endeavours alone don't encourage you to 'pity' sponsor me I've added a picture for your general amusement.

Please add comments if you decide to sponsor me and pop back to see further humiliating pictures and receive updates........

P.S. A big thank you to Laura K and Karen H for all the training and advice :)

28/5/15 'you swim like a slug' quote from my 15 year old super fast god daughter - thanks Jessica you make me feel so special!
