IF, like me, your favourite part of Christmas is tucking into far too many roast potatoes and mince pies, it's definitely time to set yourself a New Year challenge to work off that seasonal excess and raise money for a great cause.
Swimathon 2002, Europe's largest swimming event, is the perfect solution - and it's coming to a pool near you between 18-24 March 2002.
Last year, 37,710 people swam against cancer in 500 pools around the UK, raising a record breaking £2.4m for cancer charities - the first time the £2m barrier has been broken in the event's 15-year history. This year, with your help, I hope we'll beat that total for Macmillan Cancer Relief.
Signing up for the Swimathon 2002 couldn't be easier. Register online at www.swimathon.org phone the Swimathon Hotline on 0845 36 700 36 (local rate) or pick up an entry form from your local participating pool.
