I am completing a 10 mile sponsored swim in memory of my Husband. This will take place in one go at the local swimming baths during the Whit half term.

Sponsored Swim - Completed

19th August 2014
This morning I completed my 10 mile sponsored swim in 5 hours 15 minutes. I am proud that I have managed to complete the swim in one visit and I know that Adam was watching over me whilst I was completing it as always. I thank everyone for all the support, donations and sponsorship that have been made towards this event. The total amount of money raised will not be known for a few weeks but I will inform everyone as soon as I have collated all the monies donated to this great event. Thank you to everyone for all the support given. :-)

Sponsored Swim update August 2014

27th July 2014
As the date suggests the new date of completion will now be during August as I have started to increase my training again after a further mishap. Money can still be donated on line. Many thanks for your continued support and patience with this particular event. The event will be taking place on Tuesday 19th August at Life Leisure Hazel Grove Swimming Baths from 6am till I finish.

Sponsored Swim update

27th June 2014
Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this event. I have now had to expand the date until summer 2014 as I have had a number of issues. The target to complete the distance in one event is still my target however I may have to complete it over two visits. All being well I should be able to complete it the first week of August 2014. I am looking forward to completing the challenge and having a good length of time that I can train fully. Thank you for your patience in this matter. :-)

Re Arrangement of the Swim

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me, however owing to ill health I was unable to complete the event at the scheduled time. :-(. I am looking forward to getting back into training and aiming for completion over Easter 2014. :-)
