WANTED: Teams of one to six people from Clubs, Schools, Factories, Offices, Friends and Neighbours to swim for 55 minutes in relays for charity.
The Annual SWIMATHON, organised by the ROTARY CLUBS of Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor and the LIONS CLUB of Darlington is now in its 37th year and has raised over £385,000 for local charities and good causes.
50% of the proceeds from this year’s event will be donated to the BISHOP AUCKLAND and DARLINGTON HOSPITALS MRI SCANNER APPEAL. Other charities are nominated by the swimmers taking part in the event so this is an opportunity for you to have a great day knowing that you have made a worthwhile contribution to your local community and your own club or choice of charity.
The state of the art scanners will make an important contribution to the health of our region and the life they save may be yours or one of your loved ones.
If you wish to take part in this FUNd Raising event or donate to the swimmers please contact the organiser listed below.
APPLICATION FORM is on page 14 of this week’s Newton News – please complete and send in or hand in at Newton News offices, Blue Bridge Centre. Further details from John Snowball of Newton Aycliffe Rotary Club, Tel 01325 317804.
