John Dewar and Loren Sutherland from the small island of Burray (one of the Orkney Islands) decided to raise funds for the RNLI and between them topped £1,000 in sponsorship money.

John swam from the neighbouring island of South Ronaldsay to Burray - a distance of some three-quarters of a mile - in 18 minutes and raised £620. Loren ran in the Hoy quarter marathon and raised £401. The young fundraisers are pictured at Burray pier with the Longhope lifeboat crew on the day John completed his swim..
