English Channel Crossing · 29 August 2019

Over 150,000 of us in the UK have MS. It’s unpredictable and different for everyone. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We’re the MS Society. We understand what life’s like with MS. We're here for you through the highs, lows and everything in between. Together, we are strong enough to stop MS.

Story

This year I mark 21 years of having relapsing remitting MS and wanted to do this with a challenge.  The shortest distance from England to France is 21 miles so swimming this seemed appropriate.  I started training in Dec 2018 and got a pilot secured on New Years Eve - many thanks Masterpiece Charters.  It also seems fitting to have 21 in the fundraising goal, hence the goal of  £21,000.

                             21 Years - 21 Miles - £21,000

As well as raising vital funds for The MS Society, I hope to inspire people to find their own boundaries and then push them a little.  For me it starts with, "I am Chris and I have MS". Yet look at what you can achieve if do not become the label of MS.  I live with it, I breathe it and I have found ways to work with my MS rather than fighting it.

Please forward this to anybody you think might support this cause.  Wouldn't it be cool to have 21,000 people sponsor me.
