"Although we have never done any open water swimming before we have been training hard and feel confident about doing the distance ! 

#MacMillan Nurses 
"Everyone, I hope will have heard of Macmillan and the work they do .

"Donations can be made either through reception at the Audlem Surgery or through the secure website : www.justgiving.com/Barrie-Hufton.

"Donations can continue to be made through the same channels for several weeks after the event .All donations no matter what size will be very gratefully received .

#Guess the time 
"Some donors – for a pound – might like to have a stab at guessing our aggregate finishing time !  ( in hours/minutes/seconds) A bottle of Single Malt to the winner . The form for this is at reception at the Surgery .This is recorded to the exact second ( believe it or not ) through an electronic chip in our swim hats !

"We will publish some pre and post swim pictures after the event ."
