Hularama Presents - Swim to Bestival!


The Event: Swim to Bestival!
Date: Friday 7th September
Time: When the tide tolls!
Description
: After three years of getting to Bestival the conventional way...Hularama decided it was about time they swam there, and for what better reason than chariddy man!

What started as a bit of a laugh has turned into a super serious swim!! Approximately 3 miles in cold choppy waters across a busy ferry route to Ryde, Isle of Wight. So its not the most leisurely of swimming conditions, but it is all part of the challenge. There had to be a purpose for embarking on this crazy cross solent swim and I am sure you will agree the causes that have motivated us are worthy of the almighty effort!

We are aiming to raise as much as we can for two important causes;
   
       
 
  Imibala: a small but worthy charity created to assist underpriviledged children to access an education in South Africa. All funds raised by Imibala go directly to helping these children for example by paying school fees and providing uniforms and resources. We have been working closely with one school in particular in Somerset West and hope this event will help us to raise some much needed funds to help purchase a school minibus so the primary pupils no longer have to walk miles across dangerous roads and rail tracks to access any sporting facilities. We are the priviledged...please give generously.
       
 
       
 
  Marie Curie: a charity dear to the hearts of a couple of swimmers in particular who have both found solice in the help of this organisation. Marie Curie Nurses provide free nursing care to cancer patients and those with other terminal illnesses in their own homes. They have been providing care to cancer suffers and their families for over 40 years. They do a fantastic job in difficult circumstances...please show your support by donating.
