Our personal message:

Friends.

Following in the armstrokes of David Walliams (of Little Britain) and David Goadby (of S&N UK), I'm going to try to swim the English Channel (aka La Manche and Le Sewage Slick) around 6 Sep this year.

I'm hoping to raise some money for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.

If you'd like to sponsor me, that would be great. If you'd prefer to donate in kind, then rubber and grease are top of my list!

Many thanks


Steve
