19 year old swims to France for charity.

A friend of mine is going to swim the channel in August to raise some money for the Prostate Cancer charity. Thats 14 hours in the water. The best thing is that i got one of the VIP spots on his support boat with all the media etc I think he is going to be live on 3 different channels here in UK at some point in the news. I so gonna make a banner to take on that boat he he

But anyway... If you fancy making a small donation you can find more info http://www.edward-williams.org.uk/page2.html. Money goes straight to the charity.

I thought i may as well help him out online. He does hell of a good job offline himself. Even got an item from Tony Blair to sell on the auction.

If not you can give him a little digg HERE

Also i have his sponsorship pack in front of me at the moment which includes a dvd. I was trying to upload his sponsorship video which includes all the interesting info about the project as well as the interview with the guy in charge of the Prostate Cancer research but i could not convert the bastard into avi, divx or something. I went through 5 bits of converter software in the last half an hour and they were all rubbish! Does anyone know a good way of converting a 5 minute dvd into a decent format?

Thanks a lot guys!

 

Thats great i dugg it

hope he raises lots of money and that i won`t be needing that reasearch when i`m older

 

tell him to watch out for the ferries.

 

there's an obvious french joke in there, but I just cannot remember it right now

 

I digg it--and said a prayer for him.

 

dugg it, Best wishes to your friend.

 

NO way to donate via PayPal?

 

Damn he must be strong, good luck!

 

wow nice boy
dugg !!!!

 

This is great , charity is very important.

 

Good luck to your friend for the swimming stuff, the channel is very cold in this period of the year

 

Thanks a lot guys! Much appreciated. I want to show you his sponsorship dvd (its only 5 minutes long) but i cant convert it from dvd format... still...

I dont know, il ask him.

 

Good on him, Hope he raises a lot of money. If there is anyway to donate by paypal please post it here and i will gladly support him.

I a doing a sponsored 2 mile skydive in 3 months for cancer and i know how hard it can be to get enough sponsors.

Wish him luck and i hope he makes it all the way

 

I hope he doesn't get eaten by a shark!!! Good luck to him!

 

Good luck to your friend!

 

I have finally managed to convert the dvd. You can check it out here.

He should do really well with people like Richard Branson making a donation

Thanks!

 

Actualy a great white was spotted 1 mile south of the cornish coast last year.

 

Seeeeee!!!

 

Most cancer charities are a waste of money because most money goes to cover 'administrative costs'. Their website doesn't have a breakout of how much money goes where

 

Dugg it, hope it helps....
