Metro Newspaper - Fundraiser of the Day

15/5/2014

This morning, dragging my weary and reluctant body to the cold water of Tooting Bec, I received an unexpected morale boost courtesy of the Metro newspaper.

A few weeks back I submitted my Channel swim story to them, hoping to appear in the 'Fundraiser of the Day' feature they have been running.

Knowing that there must be a plethora of hopefuls also submitting their stories, and not having heard any confirmation back from the paper, it was quite a surprise to see my own picture and name in today's edition.

Thus far already, by 11:00, I have received in excess of an additional 30 donations totaling more than an extra £150 - which is fantastic!

Thank you to everyone who has donated - many of them anonymous - and to the Metro newspaper! 

All donations go directly to Acorns.
