Story

Hi everyone,

In September 2025, I’ll be taking on one of the biggest physical and emotional challenges of my life – a solo swim across the English Channel – all to raise money for The Rob Hill Foundation, the charity I founded in memory of my twin brother Rob, who tragically lost his life to addiction.

In the lead-up to this huge challenge, I’m also completing a 12-hour non-stop swim on Saturday 26th July at Dover Harbour – and I need your support.

💙 I’m asking you to sponsor me as I take on this endurance challenge to help raise funds that will go directly toward providing free mental health and addiction recovery workshops for those who need them most – in schools, communities, and online across the UK.

Your donation – no matter the size – will help us deliver hope, healing and practical support to people who often have nowhere else to turn.

🏊 Want to Get Involved Too?

If my challenge inspires you to do something yourself, you can take part in the Rob Hill Foundation Swimathon on the same day – Saturday 26th July – by swimming 1 mile in your local pool, and getting friends and family to sponsor you.

We've made it easy to set up your own fundraising page or download a kit if you'd prefer to go old-school.

But whether you swim or simply support, your donation means everything.
