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.
