Diabetes UK 22 mile swim (1 Viewer)

Hi Funsters,

I'm doing the swim again. I think it may be the last time as this old body is well old.

Anybody else doing it?

Should you wish to sponsor me click the link below.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you Funsters for the support.

For those of you who are following me on the Just Giving page the distance has been put back to zero for all. Diabetes UK hope to have this fixed after the holiday weekend.

Happy motor homing!

D UK have got the web page sorted and all up to date.

I did say that this may be my last year but so far the old body is doing ok.

Please feel free to sponsor me.

I mostly swim in a 17 meter pool that I can walk to, it is often empty, and I have my counters sat in the jacuzzi, a group of taxi drivers avoiding the morning school run. Fits with my diabetes regime, swim then breakfast/drugs. Would much prefer a bigger one, however most have day time use and limited time slots.

Both my wife and myself have type 2, hers around 40 when her pancreas sort of shut down due to Lupus. me around 50 and I may have had problems long before then. My job involved long distance driving so skipped breakfast and had a big fry up as a brunch before a days worked wherever that may be. My advice to everyone is not to skip breakfast, 2 consultants say that was my problem and not helped with me being over weight.

Let's help them fine a cure for the children's sake, sponsor me, don't forget Gift Aid.

Back in the pool, bit of a struggle following the late Easter Rally at Woodside Field over eating and drinking , as if would Funsters do that!

Been a bit hit and miss due to allergies/tree pollen/asthma, only managed one session last week on a cold and rainy day.

Back in the swim this week I hope.

Well done, I've just made a donation. I'm a type 2 too.

2 thirds of the way there. I thought it would be down hill after 1/2 way, I'm sure it was uphill to day!

Little under 6 miles to do. I'm having a break attending Jaws and MisterB's bash/rally.

Wow £750,000 raised so far.

I get nothing from this, nor will it help me. The reason for my involvement is to assist DUK find a cure for the children born with Type 1 diabetes. Research shows a promising development, lets help them with a final push.

Sponsor me, don't forget Gift Aid, and make the World a better place.

We have had so much rain here you could finish off the swim in our fire pit.
Donation made, you must be out of puff blowing up those armbands every week, no wonder you wanted a rest.
