The money I raise will be going to Duck ( and hence hundreds of charities), Cancer research, and a few other charities I've requested. You can support me (thank you!) by using this link: http://www.charitygiving.co.uk/geraintschannelswim (it only says Duck as the receipient there, thats due to everything I do going through them).
Alternatively, as it takes around 10 minutes to become a member etc, you can simply pledge money here (for some reason you have to load this page twice for it to work...):

and it'll all get sorted out properly after the swim! Thanks again!
