Les Orange's - Parkinson’s Channel Swim at Manvers Lake
Come and swim and raise money for Parkinson's UK. The swim will take place on Sunday 7th September 2025 at Manvers Lake. You can swim anytime between 9am and 1pm (all swimmers must be out of the water for 1 pm).
I am wanting to raise money through your sponsorship with all donations going to the Doncaster Support Group, Parkinson's UK, please see link:

We are aiming to swim the equivalent of the English Channel eight times (168 miles). Most of the swimming would take place at Manvers lake South Yorkshire but it is possible for indoor swimmers to complete their distance before September 7th and add their total to the list.
Every 100m completed by a swimmer will count towards the grand total of 168 miles.
I was diagnosed as living with Parkinson's in 2021 and have felt really supported by the local Doncaster group and welcome your money now!
The event is open to anyone that would like swim, lifeguards will be on hand and you can borrow a wetsuit if needed.
