Simon Rogerson, Nick Morgan, David Crawford and Sally Davies have decided to raise some money for Sense International, the first of hopefully many events Octopus Investments will undertake in the next 8 months for the charity.

We are endeavouring to swim the length of the English Channel, but are foregoing the Vaseline and weight gain by swimming the equivalent length (22 miles) in a swimming pool.

We are taking it in turns to swim and will complete the whole distance between us – aiming for under ten hours. (still a hefty 5 miles each minimum!)
