Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Thissummer I will be attempting to swim the Straits of Gibraltar, together with twofriends from Gibraltar’s Blue Fin Open Water Swimming Club, Jerry Clinton andNichola Favaro. 

The 16km swim will see us swim fromEurope to Africa across one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, in water up to 900m deep and across strong currents flowing into the Med fromthe Atlantic. 

I'll be swimming to raise funds fortwo amazing Charities - Ovarian Cancer Action and Cancer Relief Gibraltar, andin memory of my sister Zoe who succumbed to Ovarian Cancer 5 years ago thissummer. 

Due to the way that Just Giving works – I have to set up twoseparate pages to raise money for each charity separately.  Please choose one or the other (or both!). 

I'vebeen swimming for 25+ years, but only took up open water swimming regularly 3years ago.  This is a swim that I would not even have dreamed about beingable to undertake only a short time ago, and it's taken a lot training anddedication to get to a point where it's even feasible challenge tocontemplate.  It’s a massive swim, the longest I have ever undertaken, andone I hope I will be able to complete! 

The swim will take place between 23August and 3 September, weather dependent. 

Both these charities are welldeserving of support, and I hope you will take this opportunity to support themin their amazing work.
