UPDATE: I'm delighted to report that I swam a personal best distance (2.5km without rests) on Saturday 21st September! Thanks to everyone who donated (and those who still might) ...
BACKGROUND: I'm setting myself a goal to swim 2km (without rests) to raise money for Shettleston Community Growing Project. The longest distance I've swum so far is 1.1km so this will be a real challenge.
I'll be training @ Tollcross International Swimming Centre over the coming weeks and hope to achieve my challenge before the end of September 2013.
If you'd like to sponsor me, you can do so online here (N.B. you need to register as a supporter), or send a cheque payable to Shettleston Community Growing Project to us c/o Shettleston Housing Association, 65 Pettigrew Street, Glasgow G32 7XR, or call into SHA's reception during standard office hours to donate cash.
Some people have been having problems donating online. I've just donated £10 this way, so it is possible. If you're struggling, you can call the helpful team at Localgiving.com on 0300 111 2340.
