More Fund Raising

It was the annual swim to steart island Burnham on Sea Swim  the organiser allowed Maggie who was swimming to raise funds for MND together with two other members from the family to put up a stall on the sea front.

Unfortunately the waves were so high it was impossible for the swimmers to get on to the island so they swan round the life boat and back to shore.  Four people gave up very quickly and made their way back to the beach.

Maggie made it to the island  and back unfortunately she was last but great publicity for the charity and and a large cheer went up as she came up the beach by this time the tide was on the turn.

You can see how windy it was as they had to tie everything down.
