Story

Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far.

nearly half way to our 1st target

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored Benjamin.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm Benjamin and I'm 7 years old. I am currently training very hard to swim the distance of the English Channel to raise money for a brilliant charity when you wish upon a star. I'm going to be swimming a mile a day for 21 days to cover the distance off the channel. I get up super early at 6am to swim before school then swim again after school for roughly about 7 hours a week. I want to be able to help some poorly children have their dreams come true. Please help me make this event as successful as possible.
