Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I started training to swim the Channel a year and a half ago. I had always liked the idea of linking my two countries, France and England, and swimming the Channel in a bikini, aged 17, seemed like a good way to do it! The training has been a huge commitment not just for myself, but also for my parents, Adam and Eve, and brother, Pierre, without whom I wouldn't even be trying! Although this is a personal challenge I have been far from alone; I have had the support of so many fantastic swimmers on Dover Beach as well as our dedicated beach team: Freda, Irene and Barry; thank you to you all! I am booked to make my first attempt on the next neap tide starting 1st September with my amazing pilot Andy King and his beautiful boat: Louise Jane.
The main reason for doing this is to raise money for Kent Young Carers (through VAWK), an invaluable charity which provides vital support to the young carers in Kent whom I admire very much. I hope you will join me in supporting them. Thank you.
