Given that I have been posting all over the place, most of you will know about my sponsored swim for a local colleague who is unfortunately struggling with incurable bone cancer.

If you have somehow missed my post, you can catch up with it here

Off I Go!

Well, my four weeks are now up and I am absolutely proud as punch to tell you that not only have I completed all 805 lengths of the pool, I have completely smashed my £250 target!

Not only did I earn more than the £250 I was hoping for, I actually beat it by over ONE THOUSAND POUNDS.

Adding up the justgiving, cash and facebook donations I have raised £1405.  Which has completely blown me away, I have to be honest.

WOW!

In fact, I simply cannot tell you just how amazed and astounded I am by the sheer generosity of people.

Over the past four weeks it has kept me going, especially when my knee has been a bit problematic and the pain has made me worry whether I really had bitten off more than I could chew.

But, after four weeks, over 200 lengths a week I was down to just 25 lengths left to do.

You cannot imagine how much joy every single one of those lengths gave me. I swam with the biggest smile on my face knowing that I was at the end of my challenge and had raised far more than I ever expected.

A Worthy Cause

So, those last few lengths were done with gratitude and thanks to each and every one of you that donated, encouraged, messaged and cheered me on.

I won’t lie, it was really tough but a total breeze compared to the Battle that my colleague and so many others are fighting against Cancer.

Thank you. Just Thank You!

Whilst I know the money I have raised won’t change the diagnosis, hopefully it will bring some joy to the family.

And I have YOU to thank for that.

So, thank you from bottom of my heart.

Oh and just in case you missed the sponsorship form or have a few pennies spare at the end of the month, the justgiving link is HERE

Until next time,
