Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm part of a team of four who are going to attempt to swim the English Channel, no wetsuit or equipment, just our swimming costumes. Originally we were hoping to attempt the crossing in May 2020 but we missed that slot due to poor weather. We had several more slots throughout the summer of 2020 but on every occasion the weather just wasn't good enough for us to safely attempt the crossing. 

We though that we it, game over........until we got a call from our pilot several months later who had a slot come up in July 2021, which of course we jumped at. Sadly Leanne couldn't get time off work and had to drop out. However friend of the team, Jonty has stepped in, or rather hopped in. (For anyone who know Jonty they'll understand.)
