Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

My best friend very tragically passed away in September 2012 after a short and unexpected illness. He was going on holiday from Gatwick when he was taken ill and admitted to hospital when it was discovered that he had Leukemia, he died only 10 days after being admitted.

Kev and I both had an afinity with water: swimming, lifeguards, water polo, water ski ing, sailing so it is of no surprise that Kevs favourite charity was the RNLI. Kev and I had planned to swim in the Great North Swim for charity beofre his treagic death and although I now can't do it with him, I can do it in his name.
