Swimming to Beat Parkinson’s
Donation protected
In addition to my MJFF Parkinson's Research fundraiser, I am humbly asking for help with some of my mounting English Channel training and swimming expenses, specifically the cost of hiring Louise Jane Charters to escort me across the English Channel.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2020, and I am taking on the ultimate open water challenge. See www.swimmingtobeatparkinsons.com for more details.
When: June 26th - July 3rd 2024. Location: Dover, England
What: Swimming solo 21-miles from England to France while battling Parkinson's Disease
Please help me take on the challenge of a lifetime!
