Story

Bob and his merry band of Tide Chasers aim to raise money for The Martlets Hospice in Hove. 

This will be in the form of a swim between Brighton's West & Palace Piers - whilst removing some of the plastic netting and ropes, that litter the Palace Pier.


Everyone who knows Bob has a special relationship with him. He is one of life's unique gifts to us all.
It doesn't matter if you have known him most of his life or become a friend more recently, instantly you're infected with a drug that is Bob!


Even now where most people may close off, Bob is inspirational to us all, sharing his story and wanting to help prevent others find they're in the same boat as he has found himself in.


Right now, as we know, Bob is being looked after by all those amazing people at The Martlets. Helping him to manage his pain, hopefully to get him back out and share as much time as possible with his many loved ones.


Bob's determination to get back in the sea is as strong as ever, with the aim of using it to raise money for The Martlets whilst also cleaning up our beach and sea.


Hopefully and with Government restrictions allowing, we aim to be able to do this at the end of March. The date is to be confirmed as soon as possible, a tentative date is mid May, of which we will update as soon as possible.
