Pip was the long time Partner of Richard Brownjohn who’s idea it was to try and do a 2 way swim of the English Channel in memory of his Beautiful Pip and whilst doing so try to raise money for the amazing Charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer who are dedicated to saving lives by finding the causes of breast cancer, improving detection, diagnosis, and treatment….
Pip`s  Channel Team consists Richard Brownjohn, Stuart Dugmore, Darran Dyke, Gary Edgington, Rob Cash, and Paul Bates . We will attempt our swim around the15th July 2013.We will swim from Dover at around 2am over to the French coast at Cap Gris Nez where we have to swim ashore and walk briefly on French soil, before then returning back to the sea to attempt our return swim back to Dover . We estimate it will take us just under 24 hours to complete the 60 miles swimming!
