more people have climbed everest.............than swam the english chanel

Hi All

A good friend of mine (and fellow kiter) is swimming the English channel in August to raise funds for the National Stroke Foundation. He's not too great at self promotion and is so busy swimming that he doesn't really have the time. It's personally costing him 18 thousand to fly, compete, get a support boat etc.

He is currently swimming about 70km per week. At the same time he has to pack on the kilos as they are not allowed to wear a wetsuit to protect from the cold or jellies.

It's easy to donate by bank transfer or credit card. Every bit helps. His goal is 100,000 for the foundation. If you know someone who's been affected by a stroke or is at risk then this is a great cause for you.

...but how's he managing to put on weight and do the exercise? Sounds like a lot of pies are in order

any others
