We are raising money for the ABF The Soldiers' Charity who provide vital support to soldiers, veterans and their families in times of need.

For Soldiers. For Life.

1, The ABF have donated £8.4m in FY 2021/22.

2, Spend on average £54,000 a week, supporting Army families.

3, Help Fund 66 other service charities.

Without your continued support the charity will not be able to continue to do what it does for Army personnel either serving or retired and their families.

We have set ourselves a great challenge to raise funds for the ABF. The 6 person team will be swimming the English Channel in October to raise much needed funds for this note worthy charity. The swim will take approximately 15 hours to complete the 21 mile journey. Each team member will swim for 2 or 3 hours dependent on the tide and the weather.

Team:

Muir Sterling, Jon Penhale, Alex Burt, Chris Turrill, Rob Tomlinson & Liam McEvoy

The team is made up of complete novice to triathlete standards, our training started back in March with a sea swim for 20 minutes at Sandbanks (Poole), with the sea temperature of a barmy 8 degrees.
