As promised here is the update on Chris Lawrence's sponsored swim for SYC.

Chris completed her 1 mile swim of the London Thames as part of the Great London Swim on 3rd July. She was thrilled to have been mistakenly grouped with the 'Elite Swimmers' (having only taken up exercise 10 months ago!) and completed the swim in 1 hour and 17 minutes giving her a commendable 3109 placing out of 5000 participants.

Chris became aware of the issues that many young carers face during her career as a teacher in the London area, and is keen to support the good work that we do here at SYC. She has raised a commendable £500 to date and sponsorship is still coming in.

It isn't too late to sponsor Chris and you can still do so by going to www.justgiving.com/ChrisSYCP or, if you would like to support us with your own fundraising idea please get in touch.

Chris here at SYC we think you are amazing - thank you again!
