Story
Hello,
In June 2023 I will be attempting a solo English Channel swim,
I’ve set a huge target of £21,000 to raise for three amazing charities,
- The British Heart Foundation ❤️
- The Firefighters Charity 🚒
- Midlands Air Ambulance 🚁
This represents £1,000 for each mile of the swim. My target is very optimistic but whatever amount raised will be split between the charities.

2 years agoFollowing a fundraising event at Stourbridge rugby club £1000 has been added to my page. This is from ticket and raffle money raised. I have also received a number of other donations from amazing people, thank you all so much for your generosity. I’m over the £2000 mark now, so that’s incredible. I’ll keep pushing on and see how much I can finally raise for my three select charities 👍🏼

3 years agoThank you to everyone who’s donated so far, £886 raised for my charities. I’ve still got a long way to go until my Channel swim and plenty of time to keep raising funds. Training is going well, I’ve got a few long swims planned over the next couple of months. I’m trying to build the distance up! Getting used to the cold is a challenge in itself!! 🥶 Once again thank you for your support, please continue to share my page with your family and friends. 👍🏼

Swimming to raise money for, The British Heart Foundation, Air Ambulance, and the Firefighters charity. The cost of attempting an English Channel swim is £4,000, so a percentage of donations will be used to contribute towards this. Thank you for your support. Iain
