I'm an ex-competitive swimmer, I retired in my teens due to developing back problems, now arthritis.
But anyway, I always wanted to do the channel back then, just because it's there and for the challenge, but it was never a real possibility.
I met Liz whilst doing the BT Swimathon and we kind of became friends. A while ago she asked if I might be interested in making up the numbers for a team channel swim for diabetes. Would I ever!
And diabetes is close to my heart too as my Dad has Type 2 and of course Liz has Type 1 and she's becoming an increasingly good friend!
All in all, good cause, great challenge, what more could anyone want?!!!
