Fundraising for Diabetes UK - Swimming 22 miles!

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,


I have Type 1 Diabetes (bore) and I've just signed up to Swim 22 (2017) to swim 22 miles for the fantastic charity - Diabetes UK. The challenge takes place in February - May 2017 and I will be swimming 1408 lengths in Dulwich Leisure Centre. I'm pretty unfit so this will be major for a fatty batty like me! I'm pretty passionate about this and wanted to share my story with East Dulwich! If you want to take part as well, you can register here: https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Get_involved/Fundraising-events/Swim22/


I also run audio projects for children (and ocassionally adults) as my day job http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/ I've been talking to the charity about potentially creating audio diaries with people taking part in the challenge to hopefully appear on their website/social media so if you know anyone taking part or you have a story and would like me to record it, please do get in touch!


If you would like to donate to this awesome charity, my page is here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Zoe-Byatt?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=20161011_92270#


Thank you so much to anyone reading this!! I currently cannot walk at the moment with an injury BUT I will be getting in the pool as soon as poss to get training!

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
