Help Sean Conway Complete Swimming Britain

Cheltenham, GB
FUNDED

The Great British & Irish public have been so incredible throughout this swim and I'm now embarrassingly asking for your help. Once again. 

When I budgetted for the idea of becoming the first person ever to swim Land's End to John O'Groats, I put together a proposal that would support myself and a crew for two/three months. As those of you that follow me will now know, we are just going into our fourth month. Delays have been caused by bad weather, unpredicatable tides and unforseen logistical issues. Being the first at something is fraught with these issues as I've had no-one to ask for help and have been very much working it out as I go along. Also most people laughed me off at the early stages saying I was going to die and it wouldn't be possible.

Well I'm now in Scotland with only 150 miles to go and with John O'Groats very much in sight, but I really really do need your help. Please help me to the end! I need help financially to get me a new skipper, feed the crew, buy fuel for the boat and get myself to John O'Groats.

Obviously I dont just want hand-outs. I'd like to be able to offer you things in return for your generosity.

Thank you to everyone who has followed me and sent me messages of encouragement. You've all helped a lot.

Happy adventuring.

Sean
