Cross-Channel Swim · 25 February 2005

EVERY 90 SECONDS someone in the UK is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury (ABI). There are many possible causes, such as a fall, a road traffic accident, an assault, a tumour or a stroke. A brain injury can happen to anyone, at any time. When it does, we're here to help

Story

Hi Everyone,
I swam the English channel on 15th July 2005 in a time of 15 hours and 12 minutes for the charity 'Headway'.
The conditions were pretty bad on the day an I injured my shoulder 6 hours into the swim but apart from that it was a good day.
I'm supporting Headway because my younger brother was the victim of a vicious, unprovoked attack when he tried to help a boy who was being assaulted.
The attack left him brain damaged and as a result, he is still in hospital two years on although he is making steady progress.
Thank you for all your support leading up to the swim, I really appreciate it. Anyone who still wants to donate can do on this site or contact me at janechannelswim@hotmail.com for further details.
Thank you again,
Jane x
