Mette's 10 km swim for MyBnk

Time for a new challenge - last year I conquered the marathon, so this year I am going for what they call 'the marathon of swimming' - 10 grueling kilometers!

On Sunday the 27th of May I will enter the water around 9am and hopefully get out again approximately 3 hours later with a big tired smile on my face. I will be swimming in a lake in Eton - in fact the rowing venue for the 2012 Olympics!

I am fundraising for a charity very close to me - the inspiring and wonderful MyBnk, where I work. We work with young people to build their knowledge, skills and confidence to manage their money effectively and to make enterprising choices throughout their lives. Your donation will help us work with more young people to make a real and positive impact on their lives. For more about MyBnk, please have a look at our website mybnk.org and check out some amazing coverage we got in the Observer this Sunday (19th of Feb) here ow.ly/9b7yB
