Story
Harrison will also be raising money in many ways for the charity “Huntington’s disease association” which has supported someone in my family during difficult times.
Any donation from a £1….. would be fantastic. This a very underfunded charity sitting in the Cinderella of services yet offers so much for those in need.
Thank you for your support, I’m hoping to undertake this in september/ October when the neap tides are good and the water a little warmer. The swim will be now be unratified as i need a wetsuit due to my epilepsy but if successful I will be the youngest person at 15 to complete the challenge. 🤞🤞Its a mean fete due the tides; but with 4 months of solid sea and pool training i hope to make it with the support of family and a sea pilot.
Thank you
Harrison

Swimming is my love but I have never undertaken anything as challenging, I’m normally a 50m swimmer so approximately 400 lengths of a 50m pool gives you a rough idea of the distance. A steady pace will take approximately 6-7 hours.
