Jenny Redgate - Castletown Brownie Leader On 22 Mile Swimming Fund Raiser
The Brownies in Castletown have raised a considerable amount of money this year for their chosen charities - from an orange themed party in aid of children in Bangladesh, to a sponsored information collection about Castletown in aid of children with Leukaemia.  

Now its the turn of their Brownie Guider - Jenny Redgate (normally seen as a bearded member of the Bosom Buddies float in the local Galas!!) - who will be swimming 22 miles in aid of ASPIRE, a charity working to help those who have suffered a spinal injury. Jenny has been off work herself this year with mental health problems and depression, and has taken up this cause to motivate herself to become less introspective and make a move forward in a positive way for her own health as well as for others.

Please help her support this good cause by making even a small donation - and if you guess how long it will take her to swim the 1408 lengths, then you may win the �10 she is personally donating for the nearest correct guess! Either send a donation, with your name and address with your guess to J Redgate, 24 Harland Road, Castletown, KW14 8UB, or log on to www.justgiving.com/jennywren 
ps please feel free to mail this to all your contacts across the world!
