Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 3rd May I will be attempting to swim the Hellespont from the European to the Asian shore of Turkey.  This date is the 200th anniversary of Lord Byron doing the same swim.  In ancient times Leander would swim across every night to visit his lover Hero before swimming back again - Justine has promised to wait on the other side!!  I have 1.5 hours to complete the 3 mile swim before they reopen the shipping lane and I am pulled out by a little Turkish man with a boat hook.  Please give generously so that I do not drown in vain.

I have selected this charity with gratitude to the MacMillan nurses who cared for Justine's mum
