River Thames Swim Challenge 2009

Challenge Complete Report to Follow

On Monday 24th August 2009, brothers Mark and Richard Walsh will embark on their latest fundraising swimming event.

In 2007 they completed their 50 mile Lake District Long Distance Swim Challenge in less than 48 hours.
This year they are back with an epic 135.18 mile swim down the River Thames starting at Cricklade Bridge on Monday 24th August finishing at Teddington Lock in time for dinner on Friday 28th August.

They are attempting to raise in excess of £2,500 for Leukaemia Research and in memory of Dave Hicks, IT Technician at Kirkby Stephen Grammar School and all round quality bloke.
So please dig deep and support them for such a worthwhile cause.

"Special thanks to Lewis Pugh for taking the time to call me and share the wealth of knowledge that he amassed during his swim down the Thames back in 2006"
