We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. Because we believe no childhood should be lost to illness.

Story

In less than 2 weeks, I will be plunging into the dark cold waters of the English Channel. I am going to attempt to swim the 22mile across the channel to France. Here are just a few facts about the channel.


1) Only 984 people have ever swum the channel
2) Twice as many have climbed Everest
3) The temp of the channel is around 15 degrees c (v cold)
4) The fastest ever swim was 7hr and the slowest 29hr
5) Only about 10% of those who start, finish


I will be spending quite a few hours in the water both training and on the day all you need to do is spend a few mins to click through and donate for a really deserving charity.
