Having spoken to people working at foodbanks recently, demand for their services is higher than ever. Poverty is exploding in this country.

Having thought about it I felt I couldn't not do this again..... but am upping the lengths from 100 to 150 a day.... meaning I will swim over 100km in May. I've hardly swum since last year so am dreading it more than a bit.

Shouts to James Crossan for inspiring me to do this and to up the ante by 50%!

I'm also bringing back FOOD 4 THOUGHT Festival - more news on that soon.
