Story

My Channel Swim July/August 2012 will be the culmination of 3 years of training, and in the beginning if you had asked me who I was swimming for my answer was "for me, to achieve a life long ambition and for fun"

Then a very dear freind of mine, Leigh, was struck down with Fibromyalgia and I was shocked how something I'd never heard of could have such an impact on her and her family. So I decided to make my personal challenge more meaningful. If I can help her and other sufferers with my swim I'll get to France on enthusiasm alone :)

So please dig deep and donate now.

A HUGE THANKYOU for your support
