Story

So last year I attempted to swim across the English Channel and came close. The swim was aborted a mile or two from the French Coast due to strong tides and shipping lanes. At the time and for several weeks after I said I didn't want to try again. 

Once I had (almost) recovered, physically and mentally, I suddenly decided that I really really wanted to give it another go! After several phone calls and a lot of discussion I managed to secure a slot for August 2022 to swim alongside the Louise Jane (boat).

So....we're off again! Me, my coach, my crew and all my fabulous supporters! Once again I will be raising funds for the Alexa Trust, hence keeping this JustGiving page open.

Anything you can give will be so gratefully received by the charity and will help to support the amazing work that they do. Take a look at their website to read more about the work they do - http://thealexatrust.org
