  • On the 12th of June 2023, I and 4 other teammates successfully swam across the English Channel, raising over £130,000 for charity. This is our short documentary about the swim and why we chose to raise money for the Ukraine crisis and Cancer Research UK.
    Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible and those who donated. This has been such a special project to be a part of and the money raised will change lives.
