Alison Whitehead from Wymondham braved hailstones and high winds at Oulton Water, near Tattingstone, Suffolk on 19th June 2010, whilst her family nervously watched from the waters edge as several other swimmers got into trouble and had to be canoed back to safety.
Alison completed the one mile swim in 50 minutes and commented, "I can't say it was my most enjoyable swim - however the goal of raising money for Star Throwers kept me going".
To date Alison has raised a fantastic £150.
Thank you Alison - an amazing effort!
