I'm taking part in the 2010 Great East Swim on 03/07/2010 to raise money for Huntington's Disease Association in memory of my brother Jon, who had a very hard life and a hard death and I'd really appreciate your support.
Huntington's disease is an inherited disease of the brain, for which there is no cure.
The disease damages the nerve cells in the brain causing deterioration and gradual loss of function of areas of the brain. This affects movement, cognition (perception, awareness, thinking, judgement) and behavior.
It's easy to donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to my JustGiving page:
http://www.justgiving.com/Mary-Kedward
JustGiving sends your donation straight to Huntington's Disease Association and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. I hope you'll join me in supporting Huntington's Disease Association.
Before Christmas I could manage to swim 2 lengths without stopping. Now I am proposing to swim a mile in a one-mile outdoor swim taking place in Alton Water reservoir, near Ipswich, Suffolk
Please support me, this is a real challenge, my aim is not to drown!!
