Over the next few months, two teams of six from Churcher’s College will be swimming a relay across the channel, and we will be raising money for various different charities. The team are swimming in the pool 3 times a week, and we will start open water swimming in May (including swimming in the Henley Classic) to help prepare us for this challenge we are going to overcome in either weeks, July 31st - August 8th or August 9th - August 15th (due to the event getting cancelled last year from weather/tides/tempertures).

I have decided to fundraise towards this charity, as I have two family members with COPD. I would like to help support those who are suffering from lung conditions in the UK. As I have seen how these conditions have impacted people's lives and not only the individuals themselves but also the family there to help support them through it. I would like to do my part to help increase awareness for this charity and help support the families throughout the UK who will benefit from this support.

1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute. We are fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK. They’re the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound we are able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs. We'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
