Grange-over-Sands Soroptimists took to the waters of Kendal Leisure Centre again this year with a heart and a half. In w
hat is now time honoured style, the team were splashing out in the annual Swimathon to raise money for ShelterBox. At the end of the evening, they were tired, but happy. With two swimmers in the water at all times they’d swum a magnificent 159 lengths in 50 minutes. Hard work indeed, but worth it. The money raised, in the region of £1,000 will help to provide more emergency shelters for displaced people. And at this time of escalating warfare and climate-change related catastrophe, there are ever more folk in need. Big thanks to Sheila, Maria, Sonia, Helen, Isabel and Kath. And to Noreen, the intrepid tallier of lengths.
