Back in 2016 @pullbuoy did a great podcast highlighting the awesome work our swim team is doing both in and out of the pool. Check it out 👇🏻

As transplant recipients we're used to following advice to ensure we protect our own health and respect our donors and the NHS staff who saved our lives. Don't try and find loop holes, follow the advice - it's for your own good and will help save lives! itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2020-…

We are run by volunteers and don't receive any central funding, so fundraising efforts like this make a HUGE difference in what we are able to offer in terms of training weekends, kit etc. Please help support us by helping Jeff get to his target! 🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️
