Story

In July 2024, a team of dedicated individuals from the Royal Logistic Corps will embark on an extraordinary challenge: a two-way English Channel swim covering at least 42 miles.

The daunting task will require each member to endure the chilly 16°C waters without the aid of wetsuits or any neoprene, truly testing their physical and mental resilience: your eyesight will be tested also as we’ll all be in Speedos👀.

This endeavor is not merely about personal achievement; it's a profound demonstration of support for Combat Stress. An organisation that I have personally witnessed and received invaluable assistance from during my 18 years of Service, especially following my last Operational Tour. I have also used them to help other military personnel during this time and have seen the positive impact that they have; they’re truly brilliant.

The team's ultimate goal is to raise £15,000 for various military charities, including Combat Stress. Your generous donation will not only help us reach this ambitious target but also contribute to the well-being of those who have, or still are serving.

For those who have seen me in my speedos, you know I wear my heart openly on one arm and my favourite Moto on the other ‘United We Conquer’, so please, dig deep and help me raise some money to help others who need a leg up. Together we make the difference.
