Story

Hello everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

This September (2017) I am attempting to solo swim the English Channel. This is a huge undertaking with only 53 solo swims completed in 2015.

I will be training hard for the next 12 months and undertaking warm up events to prepare myself for the challenge.

I have been involved with The Wave Project this year helping children over in St Ives. It is an amazing charity which helps children overcome anxiety and build confidence through the ocean and surfing. Just a few hours every week makes such a difference and exposes the children to a new sport and a really positive energy output.

You can keep up to date with my progress on my Facebook (James Heslington) or Instagram (@jameshes).

Any donations are hugely appreciated and are going to a good cause. Any questions or if you want to help in any way feel free to contact me!

Thankyou!
