Leanne : In August 2005, Tim Denyer was just a few hundred
yards from completing a swim across the channel when exhaustion hit. He was
struggling to swim against the strong currents when he felt someone swimming
alongside him.
Mark Rickhuss had been training Tim and when he realised he
was struggling, had jumped in to give him the motivation to carry on. And it
worked! They swam into France together.
However, once French soil had been reached, Mark boarded the
support boat and sadly passed away. He was just 41
This inspired Marks friend Darran to attempt the crossing in
Marks memory. Swimming as part of a team he completed his first crossing in
2011 and just missed out on a double crossing last year due to bad weather.
They will be attempting this again in July, raising money
for cancer research.
