New Goal
Hi Guys,
First of all thanks for reading this journal update and reading about my new goal.
I have started a new goal up which will commence from 1st September and will last for 12 weeks.
So what is this goal: Well I've decided to raise funds for a charity called Aspire. Aspire works to help and support those with spinal injuries. Every day 4 more people are told that they will never walk again.
So what am I going to do: I'm going to take part in their yearly challenge of swimming the English Channel. The channel is 22 miles wide, but instead of taking on the rought seas we are challenged to do this in our local swimming pools. In reality this means I will need to swim 1416 lengths of my 25 m swimming pool.
If you would like to sponsor me please go to: http://www.justgiving.com/Catherine-Carter-Uren where you can sponsor me perfectly safely. Any money however little would be appreciated.
For those of you who know me from on here, you will know that i'm fighting a battle against my weight, so this challenge not only will support the charity but help me with my fight against the bulge and encourage me to swim more.
Jane my wife will be joining me in this challenge, I've added her as my team mate, however we will attempt to swim 22 miles each. She is also fighting the weight battle and has arthritis so as you can imagine it's going to be a challenge and a half for both of us.
I signed up to it last night when at work when a friend told me about it. I got home this morning and told Jane what I'd done, and she was whhhhattt we can't do that, but I reckon we can, so please sponsor us to give us the incentive to complete it.
Thanks again for reading my journal entry.
