Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As Chairman of the Edward Starr Charitable Trust and CEO of Seico Insurance, I will be swimming across the English Channel in August 2012 as part of a relay team to raise at least £100,000 for The Edward Starr Charitable Trust. All funds raised will 'Help Children Smile'.

The Channel is the busiest shipping lane in the world and we will have to endure the cold (likely to be around 12 degrees), strong tides, and rapidly changing weather. If that isn’t hard enough I am registered disabled with Crohns Disease, Osteoporosis and Palandromicm Rheumatism, which has prevented me from swimming the challenge solo.

So please dig deep and donate now. For every mile we swim we will be able to help another project and another child smile.
