My story

 

More people have climbed Everest than have swum from Europe to Africa across the Gibraltar Straits. Many an attempt have been marred by hypothermia, sharks, close encounters with tankers or just plain exhaustion.

This July, Nick Berry, Lennard Lee and Harry Fisher are hoping to join the halls of fame by swimming solo across the Gibraltar Straits. Unlike David Walliams, we will be doing it properly without the aid of a wetsuit!

Please dig deep and sponsor us online. If you would like to receive regular progress reports, please email: nicholas.berry@magd.ox.ac.uk

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Variety Club Children's Charity 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.
