Steve Stansfield is raising money for Grimsby's Sunflowers Children's Action Group.
A charity fundraiser is swimming from Spurn Point to Cleethorpes later to raise money for a local children’s charity.Steve Stansfield said he was confident he would achieve the challenge in three hours, but it was “dependant on the currents and tides”.
The tide will be going out when he starts the swim at 17:00 BST so the water channel will push him out to the North Sea for a while. “As I swim south, the tide starts coming in, which I then creep across, hopefully to land into Cleethorpes at 20:00,” he explained. He added: “They miss out on a lot of parties, special events and many endure harsh and painful treatments. Most have lengthy school absences and lack quality time with the families and friends."
