Sam Burton is raising money for The Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Charity

Dover Harbour Sea Swim. · 25 August 2025

The Critical Care Appeal - supporting those in intensive care and high dependency units. Raising funds for the Balcony Garden, two relatives rooms, the visitors reception, six patient side rooms and the staff room.

Story

I will be raising money for our New ICU Acute Services Block to enhance patient care and develop calming spaces for example the relatives rooms which is an important space to have when their loved ones are critically unwell.

After swimming 3.8km from Ford Marina to the RNLI Station in Littlehampton and raising £630 for our new ICU build, I have decided to keep this page open and continue the ICU fundraising Journey.

On the 25th August I will be swimming 1.9km in Dover Harbour in an event to celebrate Captain Webbs success in swimming the English Channel in 1875 known as his "Channelversary". I will be swimming this in Channel conditions, one swimsuit, one pair of earplugs, one swim hat covering myself in sudocreme to lessen the impact of any jellyfish stings. This will be a fun event and hopefully will raise more money for ICU.

Please donate whatever small amount you can. Everything is appreciated xx
