I TAKE my hat off to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph - it must have wings.
I had a phone call from someone in Leeds who had read your report (LET, March 26) of my efforts to swim 2,000 lengths of a pool by the year 2000 for the Imperial Cancer Research Fund's Sharron Davies Challenge.
The caller sent me a Cancer Research T-shirt and offered anything else I needed to publicise my effort, which is coming on a treat.
I am glad I ate tripe at an early age - it helps me slide through the water, plus Holland's pies, which give me strength to go with my own willpower.
Up to date, I have raised £400 in sponsorship, now I have only some 810 lengths to do to reach my target.
