I AM appealing to readers to take the plunge and participate in the Sharron Davies Mile Swim Challenge from May 14-28.

The traget is a mile, done in one or several attempts, individually or as part of a team.

The event is to raise funds for the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. Our target is £250,000.

Pick up an entry form at your local pool or phone 01382 451146 for a sponsorship pack.
