Our personal message:

Aussie Channel Challenge by Team Budgy.

By the time your mid-thirties arrive, the list of ambitions harboured as a

10 year old tends to have faded from view.   Winning Wimbledon is no

longer a viable option.  Fortunately, this means there is space for another

obvious project - swimming the English Channel.   Swimming the English

Channel doesn't need anything apart from a good dose of enthusiasm and

heaps of training, although being able to swim helps quite a lot.

Which is why we have decided to swim the English Channel in July of 2006, as members of a three man relay team called “Team Budgy”, for charity. 

We'll be donating to a UK and Australian Charity and have chosen The Princes Trust for the UK. Clearly a project like this goes nowhere without the generous support of you and every single person you know! 

Thank-you for your donation and please tell everyone you know who may be interested in supporting our swim.

Thanks again - Team Budgy - Adam, Angus and Andrew
