Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking on the challenge of swimming the English Channel solo this summer. After a channel relay in 2022, and a Jersey to France solo in 2023 - this is the big one, and will take more than 14 hours to complete, without stopping.

The distance is 21 miles (34 km) as the crow flies at the closest point (although I will be covering a longer distance due to the tides). The water temperature is expected to be approximately 16 degrees and I will not be wearing a wetsuit. Throw in swimming in the dark and a bundle of jellyfish and this is no mean feat. More people have climbed Everest than have swum from England to France.

I am raising money for Aspire who provide practical help to people who have been paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury, supporting them from injury to independence. I'd be extremely grateful for your support.
