Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Rather foolishly I've volunteered to not only participate in a Channel relay swim but to actually organise two teams to take the Challenge!  So somewhere between the 21 and 27 August we'll be braving the balmy waters of the English Channel for 14 hours or so of swimming fun armed only with a small swimsuit, goggles, a hat and lashings of vaseline!  Each member swims an hour in rotation until we get to the other side.

This is a huge commitment for all involved as we firstly build up our swimming distances and then venture into lakes, rivers and the sea to "acclimatise" to the English Channel.  Before we even start we all have to complete a qualifying 2 hour open water swim - a massive achievement in it's own right.

Many will not be aware of Ben - it's the automotive industry charity that supports employees and their families in times of need and covers a wide range of services - and almost everyone knows someone who works in the automotive industry or car business.
