Channel Swimmers 07/08 · 20 July 2008 ·

Pilgrims Hospices is a charity providing palliative care, free of charge, to people in east Kent. For people with a range of life-limiting illnesses, specialist services are provided from our three hospices in Canterbury, Ashford and Thanet, in patients' homes and via community programmes.

Story

Good news, the mid life crisis is over!

On the 27th July 2008 I undertook the biggest challenge of my life and swum to France.  And after 15 hours and 14 minutes of torture, sickness, a few tears and some bad language I made it.  It's the morning after and I can't quite believe it, despite the pain!

I was welcomed back by a very noisey crowd of friends and family and I can't tell you what it meant to see them all there.

Finally I was welcomed into a very exclusive club by the Queen Of The Channel herself, Alison Streeter, what an honour. 

This page will be open untill October so please donate generously, it's an excellent charity and I certainly worked for it.

Thanks
