This week, we dive deep into our English Channel Relay attempt — the highs, the heartbreak, and everything in between. 🌊 From battling the swell and jellyfish to the realities of sea sickness and the emotional toll of a dream cut short, we unpack it all with honesty and heart. We talk facts, feelings, and the journey of coming to terms with the outcome — alongside celebrating the epic swims, strength, and spirit that carried us through. 💙It’s raw, real, and a reminder that sometimes the sea has the final say — but it’s never the end of the story.Please follow the links to find out more about this incredible charity and to our donor box sponsorship page!The Body Happy Org - https://www.bodyhappyorg.com/aboutDonor Box - https://donorbox.org/body-happy-org-donation-form/fundraiser/allie-and-terri-coastalMake a booking - www.coastalswimcoaching.co.uk/bookingInstagram - @coastalswimcoaching and @coastalswimcastFollow us, give us a like, share with your friends and leave us a review!
