DASLS President Swims for Air Ambulance

President of Devon & Somerset Law Society, Stephen Mahoney, has used his weekly swim at the CRESTA/Kingfisher pool to raise money for the Air Ambulance services covering Somerset and Devon. On Monday 13th August, in a one hour sponsored swim, he did 56 lengths.

 

Stephen said " It is traditional for the President of DASLS to make a personal contribution to fund raising for the local Law Society's charitable efforts. With the Air Ambulance  providing such a vital life saving service across the two counties in which our members work, it was an appropriate choice of charity to support."

 

He continued "I usually go for a swim lasting 30-35 minutes once a week, so swimming for the hour was a challenge for someone like me who is not a natural swimmer. I was delighted to swim as far as I did, but even more so with the response to my request for sponsorship. I used a combination of on line giving through My Donate and old fashioned sponsorship forms. One of the messages of support which came with an on line donation was from someone whose son had only a few days before been involved in a motorbike accident and been taken to hospital by Air Ambulance. We all hope we will never need to call upon this charity, but we know how important they can be if ever we do."
