Diabetes UK is calling on all enthusiastic swimmers to take part in that year’s relay race across the English Channel.

Last August, four teams of six spirited swimmers tackled the English Channel in a relay race, raising £8,000 for Diabetes UK.

The swimmers took it in turns to swim for an hour each within Dover and Cap Gris Nez in France, taking an average of 15 hours all together.

Take up the challenge

Diabetes UK is now looking for humans, including those with Type

1 or Type 2 diabetes, to take up the challenge in 2008.

If you are fit and looking for a challenge thereupon we would love to produce out from you! You will be supported all through your preparations by Diabetes UK and Rob Healey who has Type 1 diabetes and was a key member of the team in 2007. Training days will take place in Dover where you will meet your team mates and have a chance to acclimatise to the conditions.
