Over the next coming months a team or two of us students from Churcher's College Petersfield will be taking part in a relay attempt across the english channel from Dover to Calais. We are currently training hard in the pool up to three times a week, and progress into open water training in May (including racing in the Henley Classic) in order to fully prepare ourselves for the final swim in September 2024. I have chosen to support Alzheimer's Society for the duration of the challenge as it holds a close relationship with my family, due to the passing of my grandma Dorothy Evans in 2021 from the disease. Taking part in this amazing swimming fundraiser not only invites both a physical and mental challenge but also allows me to offer support to such crucial cause which additionally holds a special place in my heart. My aim is to raise £500 across the 7 months, and hope to aid this process by hosting minor fundraisers along the way alongside my teammates, who have also chosen various charities to support. Any donations are welcome. :)
