Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having only ever been a pool swimmer (ok except for on holiday) and never more than a mile, what an earth would possess me to take on a 2 mile open water swim?!?!

In June 2007, my dad (then 57) suffered a stroke from which he would never recover, he passed away a week later.  

Dad was a keen swimmer in his youth and so, five years after his passing, it seems appropriate to pay tribute to him by undertaking a challenge which I think he himself would have relished.  

If I can, with your help, raise money for the Stroke Association who in turn provide advice and support for those that have, themselves, suffered a stroke or those that care for stroke sufferers then all the better.
