Listen to me on the Radio

Hi Everyone
Here's the link to my spot on the BBC Somerset Breakfast Show on Saturday - listen from 32 minutes in - I'm on the news and then there's an interview with me and Mummy after - it's on line for the next 5 days..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00lqvy3

I Finished My Swim -Got my Record and my 1st Trophy - IT WAS GREAT!

I AM OFFICIALLY THE YOUNGEST BOY EVER TO HAVE COMPLETED THE ASPIRE CHANNEL SWIM
I finished my swim today and loads of my friends came to cheer me home. They had made banners and placards with my name on and they all stood and cheered on the side of the pool as I did my last 20 lengths - it was AMAZING! 
I got a big surprise when I got out of the pool there was a huge trophy with ribbons on it which Mummy & Daddy got for me. Simone, my swimming teacher, gave it to me. The man from the Somerset Standard took lots and lots of photos. I also got a medal from Daddy.
It's been a really, really busy day - It started with being on the radio this morning on BBC Somerset Breakfast Show - I will put up the 'listen again' link tomorrow so you can hear it if you like. I was even on the News!
Then I had football (1-1 today) and then it was time for my swim. It's been great, I did my best swimming and tumble turns.
I am so pleased that I've raised over £1100 so far - that's already beaten my target.
Thank you everyone for your messages and support. Love Oliver

I'm at 75% of My Fund Raising Target

I got £150 added to my fundraising target of £1000 today - THANK YOU ALL - that means I've raised £750 so far for people with spinal injuries. Wouldn't it be great if I could get to £1000 when I finish my swim. 
Tune into BBC Radio Somerset at 7.35 am in the morning - I'm on air talking about finishing my swim. Love Oliver

On the radio again tomorrow and Saturday

Hello - Just a quick note to let you know that Mummy is on BBC Radio Somerset tomorrow between 11-12 to talk about me finishing my swim on Saturday. As I'm at school then, I'm going to be on their Breakfast Show on Saturday morning at around 7.35am -- you can listen on line if you like.  We're going to have another go on Friday morning to try and get on Chris Evans at around 7.25 for a fanfare - I'll try not to be so shy this time and then I might get picked. Fingers crossed.

Only One Swim to Go - I Will Finish on Saturday

I had my second to last swim tonight - 43 lengths done - leaving me 20 to do at my big finale on Saturday. I am really excited that all my friends are coming to cheer me home  - I can't believe I've nearly done it - I've loved doing my Channel Swim, I will miss adding up my lengths on my blog too.
If you've not sponsored me yet and you can spare a few pounds I'd be really grateful - I'd love to reach my target of £1000 to help people with really bad backs.
Thanks for all your support - Love Oliver

Only 2 swims to France & Great Racing in Squad Today

Hello Everyone - I had a really great time at swimming squad today - Finlay came too for the first time and did really well. We got to do races which were really good fun - I love racing. We did lots of underwater work  - we had to do whole widths underwater, then get out take a breath, dive in straight away and do another width underwater - we did this 6 times - I was really puffed. 
This is the last week of my swim -  only 2 swims left to my finish!

Got to hold one of those BIG cheques today...

Hello - The Salisbury Journal came to my football today to take a photo of me getting the £100 cheque for the money that  Little Kickers raised for me with Odd Socks day - it was like one of the huge cheques they have on Children in Need - it was nearly bigger than me - I was very proud. Daddy said thank you to everyone. I'm hoping I'll be in the Salisbury Journal this week, fingers crossed.
It's been a really busy today, Finlay had a exam in Swindon so we didn't get to the pool. But I'm still on track - more lengths on Monday. Love Oliver
