My story

A big thank you for visiting our fundraising page....We did it!!!! in 15 hours and 32 mins.........

Puffing, panting and spluttering (!) Jack Harmer, Caroline Evans, Simon Mountain, Judy Kiely, Robert Hodgson and Hannah Whitney swum across (what seemed like!) a very big and rolling English Channel as a relay team on the 26th July 2009.

The team set off from Dover harbour in the early hours of Sunday morning onboard Alison Streeter's (MBE) boat 'Roco' (Alison has swum the channel 43 times-solo) with a fantastic crew and official observer from the Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation. The first swimmer (Robert) was in the water at 1:21 am followed by Simon, Hannah, Judy, Caz and Jack-each of us doing one hour legs in succession of the relay.

As a team we are raising money for 'Janes Appeal' and 'CAAPAS' Raising Awareness for Autism.

We have been doing various training events in the lakes and sea throughout the year to prepare for the swim which you can follow and see pictures of at www.a-snails-pace.co.uk ....quite an apt name we thought!!

'Janes Appeal' have just reached a massive 2million pounds raised..read more about the charity and Jane tomlinson at www.janesappeal.com... she really was a remarkable lady who with terminal cancer took part in marathons, Ironman competitions, triathlons and cycled hundreds of miles to raise awareness and money for cancer charities.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Jane's Appeal gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
