These are the people who have dedicated a part of their free time to helping out Team Brophy, to raise as much money as possible for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research through Ben's crazy challenge! Feel free to get in contact with them if you have any questions or ideas about any aspect of the challenge through the contact form!
Ben Brophy"I'm Ben Brophy, I am currently studying at Aston University on the Accounting for Management Course. I have tried to stay healthy and am currently the chairman of the Gaelic Football Club. I have organised funding events in the past, however nothing on this scale! I have always enjoyed pushing myself and swimming the English Channel is said to be one of the most mentally and physically exerting challenges you can do. Throughout the challenge, I will be supported by a team of people, as well as many other helpful individuals, who have their own skills and strengths to offer to the team. We aim to raise awareness of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, whilst also raising as much money as possible!" |

I'm in my second year at Aston where I am studying English Language - definitely the best degree university has to offer. As part of the promotions mob for Team Brophy, I'll be coming round to pester the hell out of everyone for generous donations to go towards a very worthwhile cause that will hopefully help Broph to make it across the Channel to France. So, dig deep and join us in supporting Ben and his quest into swimming legacy! |
