The Guy Culverwell Childrens Trust - Swimtrek
We would like to introduce you to a group with whom we have been working closely with over the last few months – The Guy Culverwell Childrens Trust.
The trust was formed by a group of close friends, Pamela Vythelingum, Simon Beckley, Gary Cook and Sheriden Sleap, in memory of their good friend Guy, who sadly passed away last year. Guy had Type 1 diabetes from being a child, so they wanted to raise money to help to support and educate children with diabetes and contacted us to see if they could work with IDDT to do this.
The Trust have been very active over the last few months and have raised over £7000 in total but a very special mention has to go to Pam for her outstanding achievement in completing her Egypt Swimtrek. Pam’s target was to raise £1500 through donations and sponsorship by swimming a total of 19 kilometres over 5 days in the Red Sea. With a lot of hard work and courage Pam completed her challenge and raised an amazing £3400, including a generous £750 in Matched fundraising from Barclays.
We know Pam was very surprised and deeply moved by the amount of support she received but we also think it reflects the courage and strength she has shown by completing this challenge.
Pam kept a log of her swim and it will give you a good idea of what she has achieved. You can read it at:
