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 :-)
