I have set myself the personal challenge of swimming the channel - in the comfort of my local heated pool!

It is 22 miles or 1402 lengths and I hope to complete it in less than 12 weeks.

I hope to raise £2000 in order to buy a specialist chair for Braeside House which cares for older people with a visual impairment. These chairs are a vital piece of equipment which provide comfort and support to the residents who have complex needs.
