SAS Daniels swimmers are raising funds for The Weekend Day Centre for Dementia Care, Stockport
A four strong team from SAS Daniels LLP is taking part in the annual mid-summer swim at Hathersage Outdoor Swimming Pool in Derbyshire this Saturday 18 June 2016.
The sponsored swim will start in the dark at 3.30am on the 18 June and will finish 24 hours later! The team of four has to swim 24 miles in 24 hours, as a relay team and will be eating and sleeping at the poolside for the period. There will be 14 other teams taking part.
The brave and fit SAS Daniels team is made up of Partners Jean Walker and Paul Formby, Trainee Solicitor Natalie Donaldson and Paralegal Charlie Wood.
All sponsorship funds from the event will go to the SAS Daniels’ charity of the year – The Weekend Day Centre for Dementia Care. The centre provides much needed weekend day care services in Stockport to those people living with dementia and their carers. The charity aims to ease the burden on carers, who find weekends particularly difficult when looking after highly dependent relatives 24 hours a day.
Jean Walker, head of the swimming team said “Our biggest challenges will be keeping warm when out of the pool, trying to sleep at the poolside and keeping going in the latter stages when our energy reserves our low. Overall, the team is looking forward to swimming outdoors in a beautiful part of the world and most importantly, taking part and raising funds will be a great achievement! We have been training hard to raise much needed funds to continue the fantastic work taking place at The Weekend Day Centre for Dementia Care”.
The team has set up a Just Giving page so that anyone who wants to support the team can. Please follow the link here https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/SAS-Daniels-LLP and sponsor what you can!
