Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Now I know you're thinking that I'd only need to stretch out one of my extraordinarily long arms to about half their full wingspan and I could reach France no problem.  Whilst this is true - tested this from my office in Brighton today - I am going to stick to the spirit of the event and actually swim the channel (I am not stupid however - doing it as part of a relay team of 6).

I'm swimming in support of Transplants in Mind, as I've known a few people over the years who have benefitted from life-saving and changing organ donations and seen at first hand the joy this can bring. Recently this has affected my wider family so the issue is also close to home.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Transplants in Mind 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.
