Colin Freeman, of Chester-based law firm Freeman Jones Solicitors LLP, recently raised more than £1,000 for The Palmer Children’s Trust.

Colin completed the Great North Swim in Windermere and finished in a very competitive time.

The charity helps families of children who are diagnosed with life limiting or terminal illnesses.

It was set up by Rachel and Julian Palmer following the death of their daughter, Emilia – well known to many viewers of  Top Gear as the girl whose dying wish was for Richard Hammond to drive her in a pink Lamborghini.
