Swim for Heart

NMSC will be hosting its 23rd annual Swim for Heart fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the event will take place during the week of the 27th February to the 5th of March.

Every NMSC member will be asked to participate in a 30-minute continuous swim, during which swimmers try to complete as many lengths as possible. While some members swim, others are on deck counting laps for them. This is not a race - it is to measure personal achievement only!! Club members are asked to get pledges and all monies go directly to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario (tax deductible). Depending on the dollar value of the pledges you collect, there are fun rewards. This year it varies from sunhats to a 3-piece luggage set.

This year there will be extra gifts (on top of the awards) for the top five amounts collected. So go out there and start collecting.

We will be handing out the pledge forms soon to give you approximately three weeks to do you best collecting. Sponsor yourself, you lane-mates (it's tax deductible) or ask your kids or “significant others” to sponsor you!! Every little bit helps and it's for a good cause. We collected $8797 last year over $2000 more than the year before, let's see if we can beat that this year.

Thanking you in advance, Amelia Yap.
