Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for my 2022 challenge of Swimming the English Channel as part of a 4-man Team for Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland.

When my late wife Karen found out back in 2016 that she was not going to recover from a long illness and did not have long to live, her first thoughts were for everyone else. That inspired me that day and still to this day, to promise her that I'd make the most of the rest my life and it would be helping others in a wonderful cause in her wonderful memory.

Nothing has helped me more in life than helping others.

This years challenge has pushed myself more than ever, deep water swimming in the cold over a long distance, but when there are people struggling just to breathe or get out of bed then how can we not try and help. CHSS is that wonderful cause and when they promise to make sure that No Life is Half Lived in Scotland, and that's an inspiration in itself.

All of my brilliant Family & Friends have been amazing in raising so much in Karen's memory in the various challenges that I've completed before and I'm so thankful for anything you can give to continue this legacy of helping out the less fortunate.
