Message from Acting Head
Coach, Neil Kerr
On Sunday 5th September 2010,
I am taking part in the Great North Swim in Lake Windermere.
I'm taking part to raise money for the MacMillan Cancer Trust. This is
a charity I've always wanted to raise some money for, as I've
witnessed the great support that their MacMillan Nurses give to cancer
sufferers.
or see
me when I'm at the Leisure Centre with my sponsor form.
Thanks
Neil
