Hope House Childrens Hospices

It takes over £3,000,000 to keep The Hope House Hospices open each year. That's around £8500 per day, or about £360 per hour, which is £6 per minute.

By swimming the English Channel as a solo swimmer in late July 2008 I hope to raise enough money in donations to keep Hope House running for a day, but a week would be even better!
It's a big request I know, but if you know anything about the work that Hope House does, you will be more than happy to help. If you have not heard of Hope House then please visit their web site, http://www.hopehouse.org.uk/, for more information.

Please help to keep Hope House open for a few more minutes, by donating what you can, and I'll attempt to swim upto 30 miles in just my speedo's, hat and goggles. All in water that might only reach 16C (60F) in July, whilst avoiding all the scary things that lurk in the Channel.

Donating through http://www.justgiving.com/andychannelswim is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hope House Children's Hospices will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me by clicking on the button. Many thanks for your support.

Best wishes
