15 days to go. Went down to the local newsagents and gleefully picked up this week's copy of our local paper the Grantham Journal. Fabulous to see 6 pages of coverage on our swimarathon event, even including a bonus article on my swimarathon marathon over the weekend - 3 weeks (1 as a cartoon) being featured in a row - it's all too exciting :)
Apologies in advance that I won't be able to do much updating over the weekend, as we're heading for a family weekend break, but I fully expect the registrations to keep coming in, and I will try to keep track via my smart phone. Robert Hartness from Barnard Castle Durham, England got in touch yesterday with news of their swimarathon event that hadn't yet been registered and is set to raise an amazing £5000, and I know that Ellen Yu of Rotaract China and Suzanne Mekhitan in Sydney are definitely about to register so who knows we could even reach the magic 100 by early next week
Please keep those media contacts / enquiries going - April Dequito from Rotary Talisay in Cebu City Phillipines sent us a fantastic note that they'd been featured on a local TV station, and just at lunch time the Rotary Club of Knaresborough's event was promoted on their local Radio station.
In fact let's make it a challenge - please report back on our facebook group site or on our wall with details of any publicity you have attracted - we'll share the best ones with the world!!
Cheers!
Paul
