Matt Woodley's Dip in the Sea

On Thursday 10th June, BBC Radio Devon's Good Morning Devon presenter took a dip in the sea in order to raise funds for the Appeal.

Matt, had a few weeks earlier reported that he would not go in the sea, and Torbay Mayor Nick Bye advised that he had been swimming in the sea since a small boy, and he would.  Afterwards, Matt realised that he needed to put his money where his mouth was and challenged listeners to raise £500 via Justgiving , and he would take a dip, complete with Victorian bathing suit!  It's not too late to sponsor him.  If you would like to, please click here.

In fact Matt has raised online and offline in the region of £1,000!  Well done Matt!  To see photos click here.

If you would like to follow in Matt's footsteps and take a swim in the Torbay sea, why not take part in our ASA Agatha Christie Sea Swim on 19th September?  More details here .
