SteveS Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hey guys,I know I haven't been active on the forum for a while but seeing as a lot of you are friends I thought I'd post it on here as well.I'm doing the Aspire Channel Swim 2009 to raise money for charity and I need your help to raise as much as possible!The challenge is to swim 22 miles in 12 weeks (14 Sep - 6 Dec 2009) which is a whopping 1,416 lengths! I'm aiming to really push myself and swim 3 miles a week so I can complete the challenge in less time!The swim raises money for Aspire, a charity which helps people who have spinal cord injuries. Suffering from a back problem myself I know how hard it is to cope and I believe this charity does some really important work.I know a lot of you are students or poor like me, but I would really appreciate even the smallest donations as, like Tesco says, every little helps!!To make a donation NOW please visit:http://www.justgiving.com/in2thedrink/Thanks for your help!Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 An admirable thing to do, but doing it over 12 weeks is pretty poor!I think he has a back problem of his own.. This could slow him down a lot, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
