Swimming gran takes plunge for hospice
A grandmother of 2 put on her swimming hat to take the plunge and raise money for Children’s Hospice South West.
Lin Cryer, 73, from Hanham, Bristol, swam 7 miles in 7 hours over 7 days at Longwell Leisure Centre to raise money for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW). She took up the challenge as part of the charity’s Swim 10K in May fundraiser.
Lin, who spends her spare time knitting, reading and gardening, smashed her initial fundraising target of £50 – raising £520!
