200 length swim for a good cause


My daughter is entering the 2010 Swimathon, which is a nationwide fund raising event in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
She's going to try for the longest swim on the challenge - 5Km, that's 200 lengths of the swimming pool.
Even if I only get one sponsor from this post then it will be a result.

You can sponsor her here...



Here's her message:
Hey guys, I've taken on the challenge of swimming further than I ever have before - and all in aid of a very good cause. Marie Curie Cancer Care makes a difference to the lives of thousands of terminally ill people by providing free care from Marie Curie Nurses. If you would be generous enough to sponsor me - however much you can spare, I would really appreciate it! Cheers, and wish me luck! Heather :-)

Update - 10:00 pm Sat 17th: 200 lengths done in 1 hour 51 mins.

Hey guys, I took on the challenge of swimming further than I ever have before - and all in aid of a very good cause. Marie Curie Cancer Care makes a difference to the lives of thousands of terminally ill people by providing free care from Marie Curie Nurses when it is needed most. On the 17th I put in my all and swam the 5k in under 2 hours yippee! Thanks so much to everyone who sponsored me and gave me their support and best wishes :-) With the online and paper pledges combined we've met and exceeded my £500 target hooray! Thanks again, Heather :-)

Brum Snr Cup @ Nuneaton Town

The wonky camera angle was due to leaning the tripod forward in order to see the corner flag past the sticky-out bits of scaffolding on Boro's scaffold tower - if I get to use it again I'll take some bungees to lash the tripod further forward.

1-0:


2-0 (pure comedy):


But that's about as good as it got - for more "highlights" see the Whole Match or Monthly Highlights DVDs.

Goals vs Hednesford Town

1-2:

Why don't you upload opposition's goals?

I upload our goals for our fans, that takes a fair bit of time as it is, anything else you'll have to satisfy your curiosity with the DVDs. Meanwhile I've always provided DVDs and private uploads for the management when asked.

I wouldn't want to put up all the goals and incidents it would take too much time and might be also be beneficial to upcoming opponents - some would say putting our goals on-line does that already - but I'll be guided by our management and webmasters on that.

In fact I'm always wary of providing whole match DVDs further afield (except for the occasional request from refs), but I don't have a problem once we've played both fixtures or the next fixture is well into the future, and it's only fair to thank hospitality at away games with the offer of one with that proviso.

So the upshot is, if you want to see more than the relatively low quality uploads already on You Tube then please feel free to buy a whole match DVD - these are much better quality video, and can be played on your big screen TV while sitting on your own comfy sofa and supping an appropriate beverage.
All net proceeds go towards improving the experience for all fans who watch the Brakes.
