I am currently with the Grantham Rotary Club and their amazing Swimarathon. There is over 1000 registrations so far and £502,000 sponsorship already. Club President Peter and the club members will be here all weekend and will easily have a new record of money raised. Dont miss the Global Swimarathon...Sat 25th Feb http://rotaryglobalswimarathon.org/
My marathon swimarathon weekend challenge got off to a great start, swimming in the opening 1 hour session with the good folks of the local Grantham Journal newspaper and I managed a second hour later on with Gravity FM team. All day long the schools and the swimming clubs were amazing, with all the supporters they bring in. So glad that Ray was here with us, and really looking forward to our UK ambassador Fran Williamson coming along tommorow with Chris Whitaker her manager/ partner and official global swimarathon communications man on the big day to see what its all about.
Best news of all came late in the day when Rotary International published this fantastic article putting Global Swimarathon on the main news pages of Rotary around the world!
Not only that our 84th sign up came in from Rotaract Team Baia Mare in Romania, thanks again to Adrian Dan Pop who's done a wonderful job in promoting the event there.
It's 7.15am and I need to be back and swimming for another 4 hours today - all sponsors most welcome - President Burman very kindly added his name to the list yesterday!! http://www.justgiving.com/PaulWilsonRotary
