Maggie Swims the Irish Sea on Christmas Day!

I am not sure if you have yet seen that Spencers Estate Agents' Receptionist, Maggie Desay, was doing a rather unusual thing on Christmas day. Whilst we were all sitting in front of our coal fires, eating nuts, opening presents, drinking champagne, Maggie was in the sea. Of all the places to do a sponsored swim and of all the days, Maggie decided that this would be her day in the Irish Sea. 

Maggie's son has long suffered the difficulties of Diabetes and knows only too well how frightening it can be to have to manage the lifestyle changes that go alongside such a debilitating condition. Being only a boy when he was diagnosed there have been many sacrifices he has had to make and much maturity needed to be able to cope with knowing the signals, which he has done incredibly well. 

So, on Christmas Day, his mum, threw herself into the sea on his behalf to raise money for Diabetes UK and we are incredibly proud of her achievement. Thank goodness she was so willing to do it! We were certainly more willing to sponsor her than to join her! 

You can still sponsor Maggie on her Just Giving Page http://www.justgiving.com/Maggie-Desay
