As I'm sure you are already aware, the swim is a one mile open water swim in Lake Windermere taking place on the weekend of 12th & 13th September. Last year was the first time the event took place with over 2,500 participants, this year the event has grown to 5,000 places for elite, championship, charity and fun swimmers alike.
Cerebral Palsy Sport has 8 remaining places for the event and we are trying to find swimmers to swim and raise money for the charity. As a small charity we do not have the resources to spend money on marketing and advertising to fill these places and therefore have to use our network of family, friends, members and business contacts to assist us with this so I would really appreciate you helping to spread the word.
Cerebral Palsy Sport helps to change the lives of children and adults with disabilities through participation in sport. Cerebral palsy is the most common form of severe disability in children worldwide and results in a range of physical difficulties. Many people with the condition find themselves marginalised in society and have psychological problems due to frustrations caused by their disability. People with disabilities come to our sporting events and relish the opportunity to participate in sport in an inclusive environment where they are no longer made to feel ‘different’. We rely on fundraising from events such as this to continue our important work.
If you would like to give me a call to discuss this further, then please do so on 0115 925 2620.
Many thanks,
