I just received news that a Swimathon Challenge is coming up in 2 weeks. It's a fund raising event organised by the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
They have several distance to choose from to suit different swimmers' ability. I am thinking of swimming for the maximum distance, 5km. I know it sounds insane but it's something I feel strongly that I can do.
After all, I've done a 6.5km open sea swimming challenge (Kapas-Marang) before back in 2005.
Because it's a fund raising event, I need to commit a target for the event. I have my doubts even to raise £100. Feeling defeated even before the battle has started. What a loser right?
Thing is, I like challenges and I like swimming. If I can do both for charity other than personal, that'd be wonderful.
Or maybe I should send an email to my colleagues to each sponsor me £2?
Or maybe I should send an email to my former coursemates in Cambridge?
Or maybe I should write in my Facebook wall to ask for donations?
Or maybe I should hope to find a £100 note on the floor tomorrow?
Or maybe I should give up?
Or maybe I should put up in the blog and hope for things to happen?
How ah??? Do or not do???
