Story

This is undoubtedly going to be the biggest challenge of my life. When the email landed offering me the slot to swim the Channel in September 2026, it struck me that Charles would've reached his 18th birthday in the months beforehand. I know on the journey to September 2026 and during the swim itself, copious doses of #bemoreCharles are going to be needed. So, with the blessing of Jim & Jennie, it seems an apt juncture to endeavour to try to raise some monies to remember Charles, as well as for Jo's Paul, in hope of improving future prognosis and treatment for brain tumours.
