Hello !

This year, sometime between 9th -15th of August (weather permitting) I'll be swimming in the English Channel towards France.

It is a bit of a hike, approximately 21 miles (32 kilometres) . With the tides you often end up swimming more - anywhere from 25 - 30 miles.

I am raising money for Theatre Peckham . Read a bit about them here:

'Theatre Peckham is a multi-award-winning cultural venue that has been championing artistic excellence and social change since 1986. From our south-east London home, we provide training opportunities for aspiring artists, amplifying young voices and inspiring creativity and ambition.

Our 200-seat theatre proudly platforms a diverse range of productions that reflect the experiences of our community, from groundbreaking original performances to innovative adaptation.'

As a Peckham resident and someone who values creativity and the arts it would mean a lot if you would consider sponsoring me to raise money for them.

This will help them to continue building a world where , as they say, 'everyone can participate in, lead, work in and enjoy creativity and culture.'

About me:

A long time fan of swimming, I've always wanted to achieve this challenge and after jumping in the English Channel last year with an amazing team of 5 others , we completed the crossing as a relay in just over 13 hours. I told myself if I enjoyed it for the most part I'd try to do it myself.... here we go.

I live and work in London with my wife and two daughters. Have a love for the ocean / open water , music and creativity and anything that makes you feel like you're taking in life.
