And finally Thanks

Me at Varne Ridge, with the Union Jack flying following my successfuly swim. The Brazilian flag is for Fast Eddie another guy who swam this week.


Swimming the Channel doesn't take just one person, it takes a whole team of people and so I want to thank everyone who has helped me to achieve my dream. In no particular order

Don - my training partner
Rob - who got me and Don into channel swimming
My mum and dad who taught me to swim.
Joanna - for being my sister
Andrea, my girlfriend - for all her support over the last 18 months
All the coaches at Spencer Swim Team
Freda, Barry, Irene, Louise, Michelle, Emma, Magda, Helen and all the other shingle stompers at Dover harbour.
Neil Streeter and Adrian from Suva

Mike and Angela Oram from the CS&PF
All the swimmers from Dover harbour
Gill from Walton and Weybridge Physio - who kept my shoulders working
Sophie from Manaia massage who did wonders on me the last couple of weeks
Everyone who has sponsored me and helped raise money for the Douglas Macmillan hospice in Stoke-on-Trent
