Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please give me any support you can and sponsor me online for my participation in this relay Channel swim. This will be a huge challenge - the average Channel swim distance is 26 miles in water temperatures of 15 degrees Centigrade at best, with only goose fat and a pair of Speedos for protection! All the expenses, including the compulsory pilot boat, are already accounted for, so all the money which I raise will go directly to my three chosen charities.

I have chosen Help for Heroes as one of the three charities I'm raising money for because my brother returned safely from his tour of duty in Iraq in December. I would like to help to build the new swimming pool at Headley Court rehabiitation centre which will provide essential hydrotherapy for anyone who returns injured from fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm also swimming on behalf of the Bone Cancer Research Trust and Jack's Place @ Naomi House - a new hospice near Winchester for teenagers. If you would also like to support these charities you can visit my pages at:

www.justgiving.com/olliecrosthwaiteeyre-bcrt (for Bone Cancer Research Trust)

www.justgiving.com/olliecrosthwaiteeyre-jp (for Jack's Place)

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Help for Heroes 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
