Hello, and thank you for visiting the Team Brophy website! On September 1st Ben Brophy successful swam the English Channel in 14hrs 52mins to raise money for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, with a target of £10,000.
Any donation towards this cause can really make a difference. To find out more about Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, or any aspect of the challenge, visit the about page, or to donate through JustGiving click here.
While searching through some old footage the other weekend, we found this little gem of a video blog which never made it out (my fault – I thought it was too long but never got around to shortening it).
See the conditions Ben trained in before his swim (and the conditions we had to put up with while sat on the beach!) in this video which shows a cold October training session in Great Yarmouth.
