STAFF at Chippenham based software experts CODAScisys took the plunge at the Olympiad pool and raised thousands of pounds to help local cancer patients.
CODA Group chairman Graham Steinsberg took the lead by swimming five thousand metres as part of a Swimathon in support of Macmillan Cancer Relief.
His colleagues joined in, swimming a further ten thousand metres as a team. Their total of fifteen thousand metres raised a whopping £3,000 which was presented to Macmillan Cancer Relief in Chippenham this week and will be used to help their vital work among cancer patients in Wiltshire.
Mr Steinsberg said: "It was quite a challenge for all of us and I must admit that by the end each lap seemed to last for ever.
"We all enjoyed the challenge and I'm delighted we were able to raise so much money."
Bindy Collins, local chairman of Macmil-lan said: "I can't thank CODA enough. It's a super sum of money which will be a great help to us."
