Paul Bruce has set himself the challenge of a lifetime, an English Channel solo swim to raise money for Sussex Wildlife Trust's marine conservation work.

Paul has been building up his training for over a year now, with a programme of cold showers, winter sea swims, longer spring swims of five hours or more, and lots of recovery hot chocolates. Paul's solo swim attempt is scheduled to take place at the beginning of July (weather permitting) and he now feels "as ready as he'll ever be".

You can support Paul's Channel Solo Swim and help marine wildlife in Sussex by donating here.

Paul explained why he is so keen to support Sussex Wildlife Trust's marine work "The ocean is an incredible resource for mankind, but just like our land, we need to maintain its health in order to maintain ours! I know there are so many priority 'good causes' right now, but I have particular affinity to the long-term safeguarding of our environment far and near, and I believe Sussex Wildlife Trust do a great job locally."

Everyone at Sussex Wildlife Trust sends Paul their best wishes and hopes his challenge is a great success.
