Many of you may remember Neil Meadows who was a member of Trident and Long Eaton for many years. Neil is to take part in the BLDSA Two Way Windermere Challenge on Saturday, involving exactly what it says in the name, from Ambleside to Fell Foot and back again - no wet-suits allowed.
The race starts at 5pm and the 21 miles are swum throughout the night, without stopping, food and drink being thrown to him from a support boat.
Neil is raising money for Parkinson's UK and The Silver Line, a helpline supporting isolated and lonely elderly people, and hopes to raise £1,200.

Update: Neil has already passed his target, but don't let that stop you.
Thanks to all who have donated so far.
