Dave Cornthwaite
Amongst other things he has paddleboarded the length of the Mississippi, skateboarded across Australia, swum 1001 miles, written three books, stayed awake for 72 hours in a row without turning crazy, and for years has tried in vain to get Nutella to sponsor his adventures. But will he give up? Never!
It’s time to launch Swim1000. We’d like to invite you to a party this Wednesday 18th evening from 7pm. I’ll be announcing the concept of Swim1000, introducing you to the marvellous team who will be paddling the full 1000 miles of the Lower Missouri as I swim.
Also speaking will be Kris Hallenga, founder of CoppaFeel!, the charity for whom Swim1000 aims to raise a mammoth £100,000 both through our antics on the Missouri and through our Swim1000 initiative, which invites members of the public to swim, cycle, run, skate or frankly do anything strenuous for 1000m in return for a bit of sponsorship.
On Wednesday night we’ll also be having a raffle with plenty of cool prizes to kick our fundraising off in style. Oh, and I leave the country for a year the next morning, so it’d be lovely to have a chance to say goodbye.
Here are the details on a poster, RSVP on our Facebook Event Page, cheers all
Dave C
