OLYMPIC Gold Medallist David Wilkie will be diving in to help charity this month when he joins a sponsored swim in Alsager.

Anne Mawdsley, director of the Raynaud's and Scleroderma Association based in Alsager, has been sponsored to swim 50 lengths and David Wilkie will be swimming as many as he can in the same time.

They are hoping the swim will raise thousands of pounds towards research into Raynaud's and anyone who would like to sponsor the swim can send their donation to the Association at 112, Crewe Road, Alsager, ST7 2JA.
