Swimming The English Channel | Short Documentary

On the 12th of June 2023, I and 4 other teammates successfully swam across the English Channel, raising over £130,000 for charity. This is our short documentary about the swim and why we chose to raise money for the Ukraine crisis and Cancer Research UK.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible and those who donated. This has been such a special project to be a part of and the money raised will change lives.

I still get goosebumps watching this 🥹

I travelled the English Channel via ferry yesterday and I cant even imagine someone swimming in there but I'm watching a documentary about you doing just that
Very impressive!!

[@danwallace93]

I know! It’s so big and daunting. I flew over it recently and still can’t believe me and the boys swam across there…AND I’m doing it solo in 2 weeks

“Bring awareness to the Ukraine crisis” - oh thank god I watched this video I wouldn’t of been aware

[@danwallace93]

It’s helped raise over £130,000 👏🏼

[@amxst1819]

@@danwallace93 why not send all that much needed cash to someone who would really need it? Ukraine are getting billions and billions, you honestly don’t think another charity / country needed that more? Just jumped on a media bandwagon

[@danwallace93]

@@amxst1819 you’ve obviously not watched the video, one of our swimmers comes from Ukraine and this was the cause we chose. You should give the video a watch 👍🏼
