Hide AdA spokesperson for the swimmers said: “Positively Parkinson’s and the swimmers would like to thank everyone who has donated or contributed to the Big Splash for Parkinson’s which currently stands over an incredible £36,000.
“The team has been humbled by peoples generosity, kindness and empathy, with many people sharing a personal story when they donate.
“The team are riding on the crest of a wave and would dearly love to raise the total even higher over the remaining days and dare to dream of raising £40,000 to help Cure Parkinson’s.”
Anyone who would like to donate or sponsor a swimmer can do do at the swim challenge JustGiving page.
