                                                                              WE DID IT!!

Widely known as the Everest of open-water swimming, crossing the Channel is something that pushes the physical and mental bounderies to their utmost limits.  Reducing even the most able swimmers to tears, this challenge is one to separate the men from the boys. We hope to become part of the select few who have dared to challenge and conquer the impossible, by swimming together across the world's busiest shipping lanes, the famous English Channel.

"Nothing great is easy" Captain Matthew Webb, the first person to ever cross the Channel, 1875

The reasons are simple. For the team, in particular Benny, it has been a lifelong dream.

Tim is dedicating his efforts to his best friend Alex, whose mother was sadly taken away from him by Lupus. Will and Benny are swimming to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society, specifically with their grandmothers in mind.

And finally for all of us it is our way of proving to ourselves and to everyone that we can and will do it.

Please help us realise our dream and do our bit for those we wish to support!

A massive thank you from us all,

Benny, Will and Tim
