Freezing Fundraising Swim on New Year’s Day

“It was a cold and windy winter’s day!”

Every story needs a dramatic start and that particular cliché seems appropriate when on New Year’s Day 2015 Friends for Sharks stepped out to make good on the promise of the previous 2 months of fundraising. At midday Nicholas was due to swim for as long/far as possible […]
