There have been a few press releases both before and after my swim. Some I can't seem to access online but here are a couple I can. I have also included Chris Pountney's report on my swim. Please check this blog out, not just to read about my swim, but to read about Chris' amazing challenge. Please give him your support.

I appologise for the lack of pictures on my blog but there have been difficulties accessing the majority of my pics. I hope to include some very soon.

I would also like to thank Julieann Galloway for offering to step in as my support swimmer at short notice. Unfortunately, she was unable to make it over from Ireland for my swim in the end. Please view her website and read about this amazing swimmer: http://www.jgalswims.com/
