My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On May 1st I swam from Spain to Africa via the Straits of Gibraltar. I began my ride on May 3rd from Gibraltar, up through Spain and France to Calais, via ferry to Dover and then on by bike to London. After a couple of days rest I began the journey home running and riding finishing on May 25th.
