Uh Oh....

Oh no!.. they've spotted a 50 mile long stretch of algae in the channel...

Click here for more info!

I hope we don't have to swim ROUND that.. or it may end up taking us a while!!

Luckily its a far distance from Dover and its claimed that is safe to humans so we should be ok!!

SUCH FUN

Well.. we have a great day filming with the lovely Gemma and Ruth from the BBC! We were with them all morning doing various bits and bobs... it was Such Fun!!

Gemma and Ruth really helped us to relax and enjoy the day and we had some laughs along the way... we'll keep you posted on when the piece goes 'live' so you can all take a look!

We have secured a slot at Keyworth Leisure Center and will be heading there on Sunday morning for a session using all our gadgetry .. including THE GRUDGE BELT... (where justine will wear one end around her waist.. and I will wear the other end.. and then we swim in opposite directions in a tug o' war fashion!!)

I'll let you know how we get on!

We're also heading over to the Trent to so a spot of Kayaking with Matt Enoch (Ex GB marathon Kayaker)

Thank You Lady Bay Pub

Well we've been quite overwhelmed recently by the amount of support offered to Channeling Positivity by local businesses and our local community. We are even more motivated to get across the channel and raise as much money as we can for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

So a massive thank you to our most recent supporter - the Lady Bay pub and Ali (the most generous land lady ever!) for allowing us to host a fundraiser event on June 25th - exactly one month before the big swim!! We know that it will be a night to remember - disco, karaoke and BBQ - what more could you want?

The event will be ticket only so keep checking out the web site for a release date and more details - remember you snooze you loose!
