Sponsor us!

Well, just in case you missed the February 13 edition of the Wimbledon & South London Press, I'm "swimming the English Channel in July as part of a team of parents and staff from Rosemead Preparatory School in Dulwich to raise funds for the school and annual sports scholarships".

I couldn't have put it better myself, and yes, the "famous Dalek hat" certainly drew attention and generated some much needed publicity.

So, sponsor us! We have a justgiving site, so go on, log in and make a donation. July might seem like a long way off, but a constant stream of small donations between now and the swim date will add up to a big sum.

And, ever on the lookout for PR opportunities, I will be swimming in the Lido wearing a red nose on Friday March 13. Yes, it's Red Nose Day!
