Story

CHRIS' CHANNEL SWIM CHALLENGE

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

 

As you may be aware I am swimming The Channel as part of a team of four in late August this year. I am partly doing this for the challenge and to raise money for charity.

My target is to raise £1,500 for the charity CLIC Sargent which helps out young children that have been diagnosed with cancer. This is a great charity and it would be fantastic to achieve my target for them.

I am training in the river 3-4 times a week in order to try and get fit for the swim and am going to take part in a few competitions between now and then in order to spice things up a bit and keep things interesting. I'll put a news section at the bottom and try and keep this as up to date as possible so you can see what I have been up to!!

As an added incentive to part with your cash, if I raise my target, I will swim in the brightest pink trunks that I can find and post a photo up here for you all to see. No money - no pink trunks!! Here’s what I’ve found so far – any favourites?

All of your money will go direct to the charity and none will be used to pay for the costs of the boat taking us across etc.

 

If you have any questions about the swim or the training please feel free to email me and I'll put them up here pr on the blog with the answers. I'll try and send this round at least a couple of times before the swim so that you can keep up to date with my progress.
