  • Channel Swim 2024 Progress for Team Jellyfish Jamboree

    Channel Swim 2024 Progress for Team Jellyfish Jamboree

    We are absolutely thrilled to share the fantastic news that our second incredible team of swimmers has completed their Channel swim in an impressive 12 hours and 24 minutes, despite facing challenging conditions!

    Team Jellyfish Jamboree, consisting of Brian, Theo, Lily, and Molly, embarked on their journey at 1:00 AM on Wednesday, 24th July 2024, and triumphantly arrived in France later that same day. Their determination, resilience, and teamwork were truly remarkable, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishment!

    This remarkable feat is not just about the swim itself. Both of our dedicated teams have collectively raised nearly £10,000 to support the vital mental health work we do at Young Minds Matter. Their unwavering commitment to this cause is truly inspiring, and their efforts are making a significant impact on the lives of many young people.

    But our journey doesn’t end here. While Team Swim Shady completed their swim earlier this week, Team Jellyfish Jamboree has now added another incredible chapter to our Channel swim challenge.

    We invite you to join us in celebrating and supporting these amazing youngsters. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and helps us continue providing essential mental health services. Please visit the link to donate: https://lnkd.in/diqErthp.

    Once again, a massive congratulations to Team Jellyfish Jamboree and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported and donated so far. Let’s keep this incredible momentum going!
