Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I will be swimming the Solent as part of a 48 person strong team, to raise funds and awareness for the Ian Pratt MND Foundation which supports people living with Motor Neurone Disease.
This is what the Queens Harbour Master says about the crossing:
“ Swimming across the Solent is not just another open water swim and should not be undertaken without considerable preparation. Whilst not as difficult as swimming across the English Channel, the cross Solent swimmer has to cross at least one busy shipping lane, negotiate around ferries and hovercraft travelling to and from the Isle of Wight and avoid all the many pleasure boats using the Solent. The currents produced by the tides are strong and complex and cannot be ignored”
Wish me luck and support this fantastic cause!
