On the week of 7th August 2017, I will be swimming as part of the COSMIC Rays Relay team across the English Channel in aid of the Children of St Mary’s Intensive Care (COSMIC) charity.

The St Mary’s Paediatric Intensive Care Unit is a nationally and internationally renowned centre for treating children with life-threatening conditions. Every year the unit admits around 400 critically ill children and many lives are saved. The unit founded 25 years ago by Dr Parviz Habibi is now being expanded to accommodate 15 beds.

Dr Parviz Habibi said:
“We are training two relay teams (COSMIC Rays) each with 6
swimmers. Each person will swim for an hour at a time handing over to the next swimmer until the team reaches France. Please help us achieve our target of £12k per team, which will go towards supporting families of those critically ill in the unit.  Children are our future! Help us
 save more lives” 

I will be part of the relay team swimming a minimum of 32km (could be more depending on the tide) over to France. In a sea that is a chilly 16 degrees, without a wetsuit and possibly overnight in pitch black darkness not to mention the possible jellyfish and sea tankers…..!

So please help me reach my target of £3000 for such worthy and wonderful cause.
