Please support me if you can. Donate or Share. Or better still fundraise alongside me (by clicking the link up on the top right of this page) and swim the same distance where you can. In your local pool, in the sea or even local canal!

ps. Surprise, surprise, that is not me in the pic and I can't swim like that.
