We're all behind you Graeme! 🏊♂️
Scottish footballing icon Graeme Souness has hit the £1million mark as he is set to swim 21-miles across the English Channel for charity this weekend.
“Hopefully millions of people now know what the condition is and can phone up the charity and offer some help. It’s given us a real feeling that we’ve achieved something. It’s really heartwarming.” “The guys I’m doing the swim with are military guys – ex-marines. These are the real deal when it comes to tough men, not us footballers.
“This is not something I will fail at. It can’t happen and it just wouldn’t happen. If we get in the water and it’s too choppy, I’ll be asking for another date next month or the following weekend. I’ll get this done.” “There have been some difficult moments, I won’t lie, in freezing winter waters. But I now feel I’m where I need to be to meet this challenge.
“She is way smart beyond her years and the daily challenges she faces is like nothing else I’ve ever seen.
