Hi All,

I couldn't resist but to sign up again for the Macmillan Lido Challenge! Last year was incredibly inspiring to be surrounded by so many people for an amazing cause, so much so that I completed the challenge in an unexpected 48:25.18! 

This year I have given myself a target to beat last years time! So let the training commence!

My fundraising target this year will be £200 to match my 2K, please donate any that you can.

Like most people, cancer has been part of mine and my family's life. Way back in 1998, I was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma (cancer of the bone) situated in my pelvis causing severe nerve damage around my left leg. To be honest, until a few years ago, I used it as an excuse to be borderline lazy, thinking that I'm unable to complete a challenge like this. Although many sports are still somewhat difficult, swimming has always been my favourite, something I truly enjoy and to complete a challenge such as this was amazing. I also swim for friends and family who have fought a similar fight as well as friends and family who helped us fight the fight (and yes, the doctors and nurses who treated me are very much so friends, they are the ones that bring many of the good, and hilarious memorys!)

So please donate any that you can, and thanks very much in advance.
