Gav says: "The intention is to swim 100 lengths (that's 2.5 kilometres ...ouch!) and raise some much needed dosh for the fine people at Marie Curie Cancer Care in the process. Blessed, as I am, with natural buoyancy I am fully confident I can succeed so please dig deep and sponsor me in this great cause!"
UPDATE (09/04/11): We are happy to report that Gav completed the 2.5k distance challenge in 1 hour, 22 minues (with no heart attack, neither — Ed). Thanks to all who sponsored and those who wish to make a donation still can! To sponsor online... click here ...
