My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, where I will be collecting money for Cancer Research

Recently one of my friends was diagnosed with cancer which has inspired me to create this page.

I would like you to sponsor me for a solo swim from Lands End to the Scily Isles (28 miles). This swim has never been completed before, so I will be the first, if successful.

The swim is likely to take in excess of 18 hours and I will not be able to touch the support boat (or anything else) during the swim

I have completed a number of similar swims, such as Around Manhattan, the English Channel and Scotland to Ireland.

This is the first time I have asked for sponsorship for one of my swims so hopefully you can sponsor me for this worthy cause.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK 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.

Many thanks for your support.
