Paddleboarding from Dover to Calais for Great Ormond Street Hospital
Our record-breaking attempt is not just about physical endurance; it's about resilience, gratitude, and paying homage to the institution that has played such a pivotal role in our lives.
Fastest Channel Crossing by Stand-up Paddleboard
We have been granted the opportunity by Guinness World Records to attempt to set the record for the fastest crossing of the English Channel via stand-up paddleboard (SUP).
Our journey on the 12th of June will take us from Dover to Calais, covering a distance of 34 kilometers.
Taking On The Challenge For Great Ormond Steet
At just two days old, Dave underwent groundbreaking open-heart surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
This surgery was being pioneered that week by a surgeon from South Africa. Against the odds of a 17% survival rate, dying 3 times on the operating table, Dave survived, thanks to the pioneering efforts of the medical staff at GOSH.
​
Not only does Dave owe his life to GOSH, but his son also receives specialised care there, underscoring the profound impact this institution has had on our family.
