**ATTEMPT POSTPONED UNTIL SUMMER 2009** due to continued extreme weather conditions in the English Channel =================================== My Solo Channel Swim UPDATE: Due to high winds my attempt had to be postponed again! at the very last minute.I have been given a new window of dates for my attempt. Sunday 7th - Wednesday 10th September. 4.4.08: I have completed my six hour qualifying swim in Gozo, Malta. Please help me celebrate my 50th Birthday by sponsoring my Solo Channel Swim attempt in July 2008. It's been my life-long ambition to swim the Channel and it has taken me four years of punishing training. With the help of my exceptional trainers - Freda Streeter,Mark Shepherd and Dave Dunn - I'm absolutely determined to meet this extraordinary challenge. Swimming has been a focus in my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it was winning my first race at the age of 8, swimming for the Brighton Shiverers club, for my County and later at an International level. I want to thank Freda Streeter and the Brighton Swimming Club (Open Water) for their wonderful support and encouragement, particularly Keith Marlton - "Poseidon". I'm dedicating my Channel Swim to my nephew, Owen, who has Autism. Your sponsorship money will go directly to the charity - "Treating Autism" - which has helped him, his parents and so many others like them by raising awareness, offering support and encouraging research into biomedical approaches for the treatment of Autism. Donating here is simple, fast and secure and is the most efficient way to sponsor me: Treating Autism will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Please sponsor my Channel Swim now! Thank you so much for your support. Fiona
