Claire Gibbs, mum of two girls and a local primary school teacher in Luton, is married to Will – the Vicar of St Mary’s Church. She has always been a keen swimmer and dreamed of swimming the Channel. Now she has her chance. Without the uncertainties of tides and the dangers of shipping she will swim the equivalent distance in her local pool where she swims and trains daily.
On Monday 31 Oct (10 am to 10 pm) and Tuesday 1 Nov (6.15 am to 6.15 pm) at Sportspace, Hemel Hempstead, Claire will attempt to swim the distance of the English Channel – 21 miles or 33.8 kms or 1352 lengths of the pool.
Please sponsor her online at: www.mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/clairegibbs1 or via the sponsor forms at church.
All funds raised will be donated to Gaddesden Place Riding for the Disabled, our St Mary’s ‘Charity of the Year’.
Thank you.
