The Time Has Come To Swim The Channel..!

The English Channel..
the 12 months of training is done...
  some time between  the 27th to 31st July 
we plan to swim the English Channel  two ways....
 "Its Not Over Till Dover " 
Finally the time has come...no more talking about it...no more training for it...
 our Channel  time has finally  arrived  , Ricks Two Way  swim of the English  channel looks like it could  go ahead as early as Wednesday morning (27th July )  .
as we are now so close to starting , we would like to take this opportunity to give our thanks to everyone for their support , encouragement and amazing  messages of good luck...it truly means a lot to us all , it’s been a tough and emotional and fun  twelve  months for the 6 of us.. We so hope we can make the swim a success this year for many private and personal reasons..,..We will for sure give it our best shot....

We are swimming in Aid of Macmillan Cancer Support  ..
We hope by swimming to France  and back ..
we can raise some funds to help Macmillan with their amazing Work ..
