Sponsor Me! The Great Salford Swim Sep 2010
Due to a bloom of green-blue algae on Lake Windermere, the Great North Swim has now been CANCELLED for 2010. However, I am also doing the Great Salford Swim on 26th September so I hope you will consider sponsoring me for that instead! I also swam 1500m at Capernwray Dive Centre near Lancaster - at 5pm on Saturday 4th September!
Hello people. Foolishness or what? But I decided to challenge myself this year and will be swimming The Great Salford Swim (1 mile) at Salford Quays. This takes place on 26th September 2010 and I'm doing it for a great charity - MIND.
I'd be incredibly grateful if you would sponsor me - and no sponsorship amount is too small! But don't forget to indicate if Gift Aid can be added if you are a taxpayer. Just click on 'Donate Now' and Virgin Money Giving will quickly process your donation and pass it directly to MIND. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
