Late on Monday (15/7/13) evening, After 13 months of hurt from last year’s double disappointment   ,

 We have achieved what we set out to do.....

 

A double swim of the English Channel...!!!!!!!

 We completed our swim with Bob Cash taking the last leg in total darkness, swimming into Shakespeare beach – its was emotional experience for us all...

 

 Thank you all for you amazing support with our Swim PIP and Breakthrough Breast Cancer...

 

 It’s been hard, it’s been emotional, but most of all its been Fun, just the way Pip would have wanted it to be... ;-)

 Best wishes and thank you all so much...

Pip`s Swim Teams Challenge for 2013 is to attempt a TWO WAY SWIM ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.!! Yes we do mean swim from England to France and back again, between us that about 60 miles of swimming. There is no other way of describing this Challenge apart from EPIC..!! 

This year we are fund raising in the memory of Philippa “Pip “Thomas and in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer. We Tragically lost Pip, to breast cancer in October of last year - her two year fight against this horrible disease was such a brave one ,she is missed so much by everyone x

Pip was the long time Partner of Richard Brownjohn who’s idea it was to try and do a 2 way swim of the English Channel in memory of his Beautiful Pip and whilst doing so try to raise money for the amazing Charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer who are dedicated to saving lives by finding the causes of breast cancer, improving detection, diagnosis, and treatment....

Pip`s  Channel Team consists Richard Brownjohn, Stuart Dugmore, Darran Dyke, Gary Edgington, Rob Cash, and Paul Bates . We will attempt our swim around the 15th July 2013..we will swim from Dover at around 2am over to the French coast at Cap Gris Nez where we have to swim ashore and walk briefly on French soil, before then returning back to the sea to attempt our return swim back to Dover . We estimate it will take us over 24 hours to complete the 60 miles swimming!!!.( check out our blog for weekly updates about the swim and see how our trainning is getting on http://bigrickchannelswimteam.blogspot.co.uk/ )
