Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

On the 16th August 2008 a team of 9 swimmers entered the water at Ryde Pier, IOW, planning to swim 7km in the choppy waters of the Solent, negotiating ferries, yachts and jelly fish to exit the water at The War Memorial, Southsea. We are delighted to announce that in spite of Force 4 winds, all 9 swimmers successfully completed the challenge.

The team would like to offer huge thanks to their support team of kayakers and safety boat crews, without whom the event would not have been possible.

What motivated the team to rise to the challenge? 3 very special causes:

Elizabeth FitzRoy Support (shown on this page)

Diabetes UK (located at www.justgiving.com/Wightacross2)

Multiple Sclerosis Society (located at www.justgiving.com/Wightacross3)

These are all very worthwhile causes, so please show your support and give generously.
