Story
Done! I've swum the channel with 3 friends from the RAC swim team. Will never complain about Eurostar delays again...That said, it was a fantastic experience, helped by a wonderful sunny day .... and lots of encouragement from Jessica on the boat...but the cold certainly started to bite when the sun went in. Thanks to your amazing generosity, we have raised circa £10,000 for Futures for Kids. I'll keep you all posted as to what use the money is being put to.
The three charities being supported this year are really worthwhile causes - see below so if you think anyone else might like to donate, please do forward the link to them.

Everychild
Across the world 121 million children do not have the opportunity to go to school and 246 million have to work to survive. Children are being abused, exploited or forced to live in appalling conditions that we can barely imagine.
Everychild is fighting to change this. Across 17 countries we fight to protect the most vulnerable and excluded children, giving them the chance to grow up in loving families with a safe and secure future.
