If there is one story guaranteed to make a splash this week, it's Saturday's (March 12) Swimathon at Stantonbury Leisure Centre. The Rotary Club of Milton Keynes organises the annual event, and since its launch in 1994, more than £450,000 has been raised, which is incredible.
Most of the money swells the coffers of local charities, and this year's recipients are The Mayor's Charities, MK Hospital and Royal British Legion who will be supported along with Willen Hospice, Supershoes, Thames Valley Air Ambulance, Age UK Milton Keynes and Dogs for Good.
Teams are all signed up for Saturday's event now, but there is nothing to stop you popping along and lending your support to the event – and if you want to cheer on your MK MP, Iain Stewart will be in the water at 4pm.
