Are You Ready for the Swindon Dolphin Challenge?

>>
>>

My
name is Liam Herbert,
I am 13 years old and I swim for
Swindon
Dolphin in the Olympic Squad.  Having
read about swimmer Otto Putland’s ‘Challenge’ in the Aqua Zone Magazine, I decided
to take up his challenge to swimmers to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. 

Otto
had heard about the plight of 13 year old swimmer, Laurie Engel, who had cancer and
so decided to raise funds for

Teenage
Cancer
Trust
Hospital

Units.  More information on Otto’s Challenge
and the Teenage Cancer Trust are available at http://www.ottoschallenge.co.uk/ and http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/

My
17 year old brother, Luke was a swimmer
with
Swindon
Dolphin until he became ill with cancer two years ago.  He
has also had support from the Teenage Cancer Trust.  And
so
Swindon
Dolphin Executive Committee agreed to support the Otto Challenge – to try to raise
at least £1000 by 22^nd September 2007.  We
have already raised £500 at the recent Wiltshire BAGCAT gala and received a marvellous
donation of £2200 from Tigersharks ASC.

Can
you take up the challenge and help us?  We
want to involve everyone in the club either through swimming or helping out.  So
our swimming challenge is:

As
part of a team of 5, complete 5000m in the fastest time possible.  This
will be swum as a 50 X 100m freestyle relay, with swimmers continuously rotating through
their team until each swimmer has completed 10 X 100m swims, thereby completing 5000m
between them.
