More people have climbed Mount Everest than have swum the Channel.  Together with a team of 5 other intrepid explorers I’m swimming from England to France.  This is the biggest challenge of my life.  Each of us will have to swim between 4 – 6 miles each in 12 - 15 degree cold water dressed only in speedos, cap, googles and a lot of grease!  Ratified by the Channel Swimming Association we are not allowed to wear wetsuits.

We are doing this to raise money for a new classroom block for needy children in rural Zimbabwe, through our charity ZRSDP.  I would very much appreciate if you would sponsor me.  I know I have badgered people for money in the past for other marathons and triathlons and I can assure you this will be the last time for a very long time.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for your generosity!

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
