Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. In August I've booked a boat to swim the English Channel. It all seemed a long time in the distance when I booked the boat two years ago but the big day has nearly arrived! Since September I've been gradually building up the swimming distance in preparation for this challenge.

I've decided to fundraise for two charities - CLL Support and the Youth Counselling Project.

I have spent a lot of the last ten years swimming in the sea with Eastbourne Sea Swimmers to the point where it has become my second home. I love the sense of freedom, adventure and tranquility that swimming in the sea provides. When my Uncle suggested that I should swim the channel a few years ago, my first response was 'that's a very long way, have you got the right woman?' However after thinking about it my opinion quickly changed to 'why not, what a cool adventure!'
