Story

In 2017 I attempted to swim the English Channel. After 14 hours swimming I had to call it a day. But now I’m back and I will pick up my pebble from France! It’s a privilege to support SOGB in their fund raising for the World Games. My business partner, Jessie Pavelka, is the SOGB Ambassador for Health and Well-being, so the athletes have a special place in my heart and are an inspiration to so many. 

Here’s a bit about Team SOGB…

Special Olympics Great Britain is the largest provider of sporting opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities in Great Britain. Through its 140 local, volunteer-led, clubs, it offers sports training and competition for over 10,000 athletes regardless of their athletic ability.
