Helen & Douglas House helps local families cope with the challenges of looking after a terminally ill baby or child who will die prematurely. We are a home from home for our patients and their families, and provide round-the-clock care in a warm, loving environment.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our first successful night swim was achieved after a lovely meal and then into the sea.

We have been very busy training for our channel swim, with visits to swim in the sea. We have been double dipping. Swimming getting out for an hour and back in again. What started out as a blustery, choppy start, turned into a sunny end by the second dip.


We are the Ferry lane fugitives and after doing the Polar bear and Penguin challenge, of swimming through the winter. We thought what can we do next, let's do a relay team across the channel.
