This is the third time that Richard and Caleb (father and son) will be swimming the 8 Mile challenge together and the first time as a team for the Mandeville Disability Swimmers.
Positive things happen to positive people. We are all aware of the wonderful feeling of being fit, healthy and confident to enjoy and participate in a sporting activity.
But, sadly this is not the case for many of these disabled swimmers who are heavily reliant on being assisted to learn, train and participate in any sporting activity. The Mandeville Disability Swimming club eliminates this challenge, making it possible for these swimmers to learn to swim and participate as swimmers.
Providing a positive dream and a goal to strive for. A goal that will sustain them for life.
Please, assist us to raise money for this worthy cause.
