I'm swimming from Jersey to France at the end of August.

This is in memory of my nephew and in aid of a charity that my brother and our family have supported over the years following Jacob's sudden passing in 2007.

It’s 14 miles direct but 15 to 18miles on the tides. Should take about 10 hours and will be the furthest I've ever swum by some margin! Your donations and keeping our precious boy in my mind will keep me going.

Thanks

Mike
