Richards braced for Channel charity challenge
Industry PR expert Mark Richards is swimming the English Channel to raise funds for Aspire, the organisation which supports those with spinal injuries.
He is taking part in a relay swim alongside Gary Kind, Neil Endley, Ashley Ball and Nik Collins.
The challenge is scheduled to take place on 2 September, assuming the continued relaxing of Covid-19 restrictions continues.
He said: “Having been accepted by the charity Aspire as one of their selected teams for 2020 to tackle the Channel, I have the task now of raising as much money as possible in aid of this inspirational organisation that help people who suffer a spinal injury.”
He added: “We have been told to train for a 22-hour crossing where we will have to endure ships, jelly fish, the dreaded cold and obligatory sea sickness.”
