LED are pleased to announce the grand total raised for the Force Cancer Charity Swim in February is over £5,138 with money still coming through!
Earlier this year swimmers across LED's five swimming pools were invited to take part in the Force Cancer Charity Swim where swimmers were asked to take part in either a 14 or 28 mile swim over the course of the month.
Fifty swimmers took part in the challenge to raise money for this local charity that has played a vital role in local cancer services for the last 26 years.
Naomi Cole, Community Fund Raiser for Force said ‘...
Dust off the Speedos – the call is out for people to take to the water for the annual Topsham-Turf swim organised by the Estuary League of Friends.
This year’s event takes place on Saturday 17 August and covers the traditional mile-and-a-half course from Topsham Sailing Club to the Turf Hotel.
It is now eight years since the swim – a long-standing event in Topsham – was revived by Topsham ferryman Mike Stevens. Since 2005 it has been organised by Estuary League of Friends and now has support from Michelmores Solicitors.
Are you a a keen swimmer? Then we have just the event for you! Come along and have a swim in beautiful surroundings, and raise funds for Devon Air Ambulance Trust (DAAT) at the same time. The one mile swim, which takes place on Sunday 15 September 2013, starts and finishes on Broadsands Beach in Paignton. Entry is just £20, although swimmers are asked to raise £30 sponsorship too.
We are also proud to announce that our sponsor this year will once again be The ATASS Group.
