On May 12^th our wonderful community again did us proud.  A total of 29 swimmers began the fundraising swim at 10am and ‘swam for life’ reaching the summit of Everest not once, but twice, a staggering 17,692 metres or 708 lengths of the 25-metre  municipal swimming pool in Competa. Team Elite finished in record time at 11.39am and Team Challenge, led by Martin Robinson (who brought us this idea and who, despite currently undergoing gruelling chemotherapy treatment, completed 60 storming lengths himself) came in ahead of schedule at 1.30pm. Plucky 98-year-old Bobby started Team Challenge off, followed by the team’s children and parents swimming all together. At the time of writing we have raised €3,350. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and in particular to the ever resourceful and persuasive Kevin who collected €1,255 (the winner of the meal for two at El Pilon was John and Rose, ticket 187).  Individual sponsorship totalled €754 and a special mention goes to Asa, Katherine and Tracey P.  Martin who raised €445 and the fabulous Cudeca volunteers manning the tables and stocks outside the pool raised a fantastic €602. These fundraising events are not possible without your help, commitment, goodwill and donations, and CUDECA would like to thank everyone who took the time to take part and help make a difference to someone else’s life. We would also like to mention El Boutique, Oscars, El Cortijo and Andalucian Experience for their generous number board gifts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
