一点花絮

这个还是用中文写吧。:) 给我安排的时间在早晨9:00-9:30。我到游泳池的时候看见满池子的MM呀,一个男生也没有。四条泳道的游泳池里有十个左右MM在“拼搏”。:) 大部分都是Master students。整个游泳馆里只有一个GG/DD(?),还没有穿泳衣(in T shirt and short),是游泳池的life guard。我估计他肯定挺喜欢他的这份差事的。这么多的泳装MM,颇有几个身材不错的。这位GG/DD今天一定大饱眼福了。呵呵。

report on swim for malaria

I did my swim in early morning today and finished 1km in 25 minutes. I wanted to register 2km, but the organizer said she has trouble to reserve so much time just for me, since around 100 staff and students are swimming on Friday. I have to finish my swim within 45 minutes. So I decided to go for 1km.

I got strong support from Jack, Wisher, and colleagues at LSHTM. There are two sponsorships from school colleagues that I especially want to thank for, Neal Alexandra from Colombia and Joanna Schellenberg from Tanzania, both are colleagues based overseas. I never met Joanna in person and only met Neal once at the group retreat in early Sep this year. With support from all over the world, I feel so strong that I could swim across the Atlantic ocean! :)

I finally raised £205 and $200. It tripled my expectation. My target was £100. Jack counts all my sponsorship in US! :) You are the most, probably the only as well, generous and caring pirate in the world and in history!! :))
