Sponsored Swim Report

Jill Terry sent us the following report about the sponsored swim she organised to support us:

Just a few words of how our Sponsored Swim went on the 8th May 2010 swimming the equivalent of the English Channel and back (44miles) between approximately 50 swimmers.

The youngest two boys Thomas Keil and Michael Kelsey swam the small pool covering 120 lengths swimming and kicking with floats. Sophie and Daniel Read swam the most lengths between them as a family. The Sturt family raised the most amount of money, reaching around £700.

Many of the swimmers, Ellie Keil (9yrs), Megan Waugh (12yrs), Lauren Blake (10yrs), swam a mile and others of us, Francesca Blake (12yrs), Amanda Fahy, Kerry and Hayley Griggs (swimming teachers) and myself Jill (nearly 50yrs) swam 2 miles each.

A raffle was very successful with tickets having been sold throughout the week and a cake was very yummy after a long swim and made some extra cash for the event.

We had a great afternoon and all really enjoyed the challenge with the satisfaction that we have raised, when all the monies are in, £1900 approx.
