Story
To mark my 50th birthday I will swim 50 lengths a day for 50 consecutive days.
April 26th 2011 - All done. Thank you for sponsoring me to the tune of £759.10 so far. Keep in touch and I will keep you updated. xxxxxx
March 31st 2011.
Day 29 - I have now swum 22.52 miles which is more than the narrowest part of the English Channel. Whoop! Whoop!
Jour 29 - J'ai maintenant nagé 22.52 miles qui est plus que la partie la plus étroite de la Manche. Whoop! Whoop! (Thanks to Google translate)
Well done and Thank You for getting us to the first target. x
Let's not stop now though. The swiming is continuing until the 21st April so lots more time to raise money for charity. Lets see if we can take it to the next level £999.99 :-)
Details - 25 metres x 50 lengths each day. That's 1.25 kilometres every day. Which is a total of 62.5 kilometres! That's 38.83 miles - Almost the same distance as the English Channel and back again (Dover to France). If you can help me raise money then leave me a message and get a special Thank You video from some of the lovely people supported at Salter's Hill.
If we double my target of £500 then I will make it up to 50 miles!!!
If we can double my target and raise £1000 I will swim the extra 11.17 miles to total 50 miles. That is nearly two and half times the English Channel - Dover to France: An extra 18 kilometres or 18000 metres which is an extra 720 lengths.
This will take another 15 days so I will have to do it when the gym is open.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. I am raising the money for Salter's Hill Charity Ltd. www.saltershill.org.uk
Please sponsor me. The swim begins on Thursday March 3rd and day fifty is April 21st.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and remember, if you are a tax payer, to agree to the Charity claiming the gift aid. That's extra money from the Inland Revenue at no extra cost to you. xxxxx
