Story

I am swimming from Firestone Bay in Plymouth to Drakes Island for Chestnut Appeal. The swim is approximately 2km (1.2m) which may not sound far but with powerful currents in the cold sea, it will certainly be a challenge!

The Chestnut Appeal is a great charity which raises awareness of men's cancer. They also fund research, care, and treatment for prostate, testicular, and penile cancer.
