<p>This year's August Bank Holiday will take a slightly different form for the Britten brothers.&nbsp;Instead of spud digging in Somerset, we, along with the help of two others, will be swimming the English Channel...</p> <p>Leaving Dover in the early hours of Sunday 28th August, we hope to arrive in Cap Gris Nez (between Calais and Boulogne, 21 miles away) about 15 hours later.</p> <p>Whilst this is a personal challenge that we have both wanted to complete for a while, we will also be raising money for Pump Aid, a charity that works to combat the ongoing global water and sanitation crisis - something particularly&nbsp;relevant in East Africa currently.</p> <p>Pump Aid establish sustainable supplies of clean water and safer sanitation provisions&nbsp;through the development of innovative, cost-effective and community-centred technology. For more information please visit:</p> <p><a href="http://www.pumpaid.org/main/home">http://www.pumpaid.org/main/home</a></p> <p>Whilst we will both be&nbsp;fairly sick of the water by the time we arrive in France,&nbsp;those&nbsp;benefiting from the work of Pump Aid certainly will not. Anything you can give to support this charity would be hugely appreciated so just follow the&nbsp;simple, fast and totally secure link to help make a difference.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Dan &amp; Jake</p>
