at the weekend.
While lots of us where relaxing and chilling out Ben was swimming 1.7miles in open water in Loch Lomond.
His Mam Lorna said "The weather wasn't very good but he still managed to complete the challenge in a
very good time of 45minutes, he was Brilliant and we're very proud of him".
Ben's chosen charity is Hartlepool Hospice. I think at some point in our lives a member of our family or
a friend has been or will be helped by the marvellous staff at the Hartlepool Hospice. They need all the sponsorship
they can get to help them carry on providing a first class service.. .Anyone kind enough to have sponsored Ben can
you give your sponsor money to the relevant people, and if you missed the opportunity to sponsor this extremely
brave young man, just have a chat with Ben's Mam Lorna and give her a couple of quid. It's never too late.
