Welcome to my Channel swim fundraising page.

I've been talking about this for a long time so it’s time to give it a go and while I’m at it try and raise a bit of money for settle area swimming pool.

The 21 mile solo swim will take part during the tidal period of the 25th - 30th of September 2024. I’m swimmer number 2 in that period. The swim sets off from Shakespeare's Cliff or Samphire Hoe in England between Folkstone and Dover. I will then swim across the Straight Of Dover and will shoot to aim for Cap Gris-Nez in France!

I hope you will all follow the swim, I’ll be setting up a WhatsApp group for the day.

And now for the just giving info.
