Cross the English Channel as a solo swimmer

Martin is fundraising for Canterbury Food Bank

My challenge is to cross the English Channel as a solo swimmer. Depending on the weather conditions, I expect the swim to take between 14 and 16 hours. Having grown up near the sea I have always enjoyed swimming. I've often walked along the white cliffs at Dover where you can see France on a clear day. It began as a dream. I am very pleased to be raising money to help the Canterbury Food Bank who provide emergency food parcels and related household supplies to individuals and family groups in financial crisis.

Social Value

A recent audit determined that for every £1 we receive, we deliver £6.99 in value through alleviating stretched services, helping people in need and supporting positive outcomes effectively. Our skilled signposters, operational staff and army of volunteers put every penny to work. That means your £5 donation will provide £34.95 in social value.
