Story

Years ago, I did a sponsored swim in the Plymouth Sound with my Dad and raised money for the Foundation which is close to my family’s heart. 

Since then, I’ve seen the work that the Foundation does in raising awareness of bowel cancer and supporting children in grass-root sports - my own school has also benefited from this so I’ve seen, first-hand, the positive impact that the Foundation has. 

It has been 9 years since Adam’s passing and the start of the Foundation and I would like to mark this by swimming the Channel. I’ll do this over 12 weeks which seems a long time but 22 miles means I need to swim roughly 120 lengths a week and 1416 lengths altogether! I plan to try to complete it in less than 12 weeks!

Anything you can give is greatly appreciated!
