Story

For many years I have wanted to swim through the Jellyfish infested waters of the English Channel, from Dover, in the hope of landing in Calais. 

This year it has been made possible in the form of a relay swim, and with a real purpose, to support of The Alexa's Trust Charity, who have enabled myself and 5 others to take on this challenge.

The trust was set up in memory of Alexas James in 2015 having expereicned huge difficultites. The charity works with parents with babies in neonatal, looking to support those going through one of the most difficult situations they will ever experience, and look to protect those vulnerable and promote the difficulties endured.
