PLEASE HELP US TO RAISE FUNDS VIA THIS BRILLIANT FUNDRAISING IDEA
My name is Sarah Phillips and I have had ME for nine years. I am wheelchair bound and my life has completely changed. However, I have a fantastic family and friends which have helped me immensely.
My brother, Barrie Phillips is a lifeguard at a local swimming pool and has to constantly stay fit via swimming. He has always wanted to raise funds for our ME group as well as The British Heart Foundation due to the fact that my Dad suffers with angina. He had decided to swim 500 miles (1 mile is equivilent to 64 lengths) by the London 2012 Olympic Games! He already started this massive undertaking and has thus far completed 12 miles! He tends to swim 1 mile at a time. He has registered this fundraising activity with the Swimming Association and they are monitoring his progress and will insure that everything is done above board.
If you are interested in sponsoring my brother please click here
Thanks for all your support.
