Story

The motivation to complete this challenge is driven by the loss of my eldest Brother, Sam, in 2020.

Sam battled with mental health issues for several years but during positive episodes would promote the support he received from the charity, Mind. Sam was a passionate, competitive and intelligent person and a brilliant brother, but at the age of 41 he passed away.

He was always the first person to encourage me in many things in life, a lot of the time by taking the piss but in a way to spur me on. When I first mentioned to him about asperations to swim the channel, he did exactly that and betted with me I wouldn't, a bit of helpful reverse psychology to get me going!

Cheers all for the support x
