Swim The Big Blue 2 Expedition - Supporting BLISS UK

Swim The Big Blue 2 Expedition is raising money for Bliss

Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page!

I was prematurely born, 6-weeks early, and died twice in NICU. This seems so long ago, but today, having overcome death and more, I am reattempting my world-first 3,000km, Full Atlantic Ocean swim in aid of BLISS UK. The very people who mean so much to me personally and can change so many lives. Together, we will achieve the extraordinary. Please, donate today, and let's help so many babies and their families to survive, grow stronger and take on their own challenges later in life.

Every 5 minutes, a baby is admitted to neonatal care in the UK. Bliss is the leading UK charity for babies born premature or sick. They rely on donations to fund their work, and without your help, they won't be able to reach the 100,000 babies needing neonatal care each year. Your donation to my page will help Bliss to drive improvements in neonatal care, to ensure that the needs of babies are at the heart of policy and planning for the future, and to provide information and support to all families with a baby born premature or sick.

Join me, my team, researchers, and charities as we commence the world's first full, Atlantic Ocean swim: 3,000km, Africa-Brazil, 200 days, starting October 2022. We will also be conducting world-first human, marine, and ocean research and my aim is to inspire us all globally to be the best that we can be and show that ordinary people can achieve the extraordinary.

Donate today and help all our babies and children to overcome their challenges, get the help they need when they need it, to help their families, and improve their physical and mental health so that they can be the best that they can be and be inspired. Your donation really will help those who need it the most.

Know that your donations will inspire Ben too, to swim harder and further over the 200 days, 2022 to 2023.

You can follow Ben's swim on Twitter and Instagram @swimthebigblue2 and our live tracking via The Swim Page of the website - you may even get a shout-out online on our home page supporter's scroll or on film if you donate!

Thank you from me and the team. Without you, we could not help so many and change so much for the future.
