Thanks to Alasdair Allan MSP for sending out a copy of the Motion that he recently raised in the Scottish Parliament about the Big Minch Swim. I like the fact he mentioned everyone involved in the event and what their job was to make it successful. Copies of the motion have been made and laminated (thanks Mum & Dad) and will be given to each person on the Team for a keepsake... https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/theminchswims  Photo's from the Big Minch Swim on the 10th & 11th June 2019. Duckman was saying 9-10 degrees, with plenty of colder pockets. Stacks of wildlife. 33 miles@21 hours and 1 minute. I want to say thank you so much to my beautiful wife Donna (support in chief and number 1 coach xx), Donald, Joseph, Brian, Nellie and Robert for supporting me along the way across the Big Minch Channel yesterday. Big respect to you all. Along with my Mum, Dad, family and friends and to everyone who has donated to fight the battle against Cancer. You guys are the best. People have been so generous and you've helped me smashed my 5k target by a huge amount.Thank you very much to you all. Am more than pleased to finally have the Big Minch Channel under my swim cap....
