READERS might like to know my progress in swimming the 2,000 lengths and trying to raise £2,000 for Sharron Davies' Imperial Cancer Research appeal for the year 2000.

I know I can do my bit of the swimming and hope to complete it by October. Also, I have completed my 'Swim for Mile' and sent a donation of £20.

Up to date I have done 730 lengths for my millennium swim and 86 lengths for the 'Mile Swim.' My sponsorship so far is £312.
