Riley Chalmers will be undertaking the challenge next month in memory of a friend.
Riley will take to the Swan Pool and Leisure Centre in Buckingham on Sunday the 7th June to raise money for the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood charity (SUDC UK), which is dedicated to raising awareness, funding research and supporting families affected by SUDC. His fundraising follows the support the charity has given to the family of Amber Wheeler, Riley's friend who passed away at just 8-years-old.
He says that "Amber was always happy and would help anyone" and that "she is greatly missed by all of her family and friends", adding that SUDC UK "have been a great support to Ambers family during these devastating times".
The swim will take place from 9am-10am, and Riley says "I would greatly appreciate if you would be able to sponsor me, however big of small."
