On Saturday 13th July, Lewis Carless swam further than he had ever done before in his life, to raise money for the Birmingham Childrens Hospital. Lewis, who is only 8 years old, has a brother called Mason who is a regular visitor at Birmingham Childrens Hospital.
So Lewis wanted to do something to help the hospital. Lewis swam the 5000 meters in 2 hours and 19 minutes, and has raised over £700 so far for the hospital. Everyone at Beeches is very proud of Lewis and his massive achievement.
Pip’s Channel Swim team (also known as Big Ricks) have successfully completed a two way swim of the English Channel in 20 hours and 40 minutes. After 13 months of hurt, they have achieved what they set out to do. They completed their swim with Bob Cash taking the last leg, swimming into Shakespeare beach – an emotional experience for them all.
Beeches are proud of every single member of the team – you are all heroes, and should be very proud of what you have achieved.
