'Incredible feat': Dorset veterans fall short of Channel challenge

Steve Harris

Available for over a year

Swimming the Channel is no mean feat - six veterans from the South took on the challenge. The challenge was cut short as strong tides started to blow them towards Calais - which could have provoked an incident with French Authorities. It was all in aid of the Mark Bowra Foundation, a charity that helps people recovering from brain injuries. Steve Harris spoke to two of the team - Sally Orange and Jimmy Hill about the challenge, and found out about the man behind the charity.
