A 63 year old retired Kingsbridge vet has swam 10 miles in a swimming pool to raise money for Ukraine.
Mike Day started his epic swim at 7 am and completed an incredible 640 lengths at the Quayside Leisure Centre pool six and a half hours later at 1.30pm.
Mike said:
“I want to do something to support the innocent victims of the war in Ukraine. I have chosen the Red Cross as my charity as they support the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal run by the Disasters Emergency Committee and I understand that this means any donations will be matched by the government.”
Mike was a vet at South Moor and as of 10am on March 9 had raised £1867.
