Swimathon

Date : 28th November 2009

Event Host : Paula Haining & Gemma Haining

Venue : Kingsway Leisure Centre - Widnes

The event : On Saturday 28th November - the day before Mark went to sleep; Paula & Gemma Haining completed a 10km swim in clothes at Kingsway Leisure Centre, Widnes. As Mark was so poorly at this stage the girls did consider postponing the event but after some consideration they decided that they had to go ahead with the event for Mark. The girls' friends and family where there to show their support and keep track of the number of lengths completed.

They did the swim in a fabulous time of 2 hours and 31 minutes. The girls seemed to breeze through the challenge and enjoyed it so much that in 2010 they are increasing the target to 15km!

Amount raised : £320.00
