A Shropshire family is set to embark on a mammoth challenge in memory of a popular Shrewsbury Market Hall trader who died last month, aged 65.

The family will be swimming 21 miles – the width of the English Channel – to raise funds to improve the patient garden at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Bannatyne Health Club in Shrewsbury has made a lane of its swimming pool available for the sponsored swim on Sunday, October 29. Between them, the family members aim to swim 1,650 lengths of the pool. “We really want to raise money to improve access. We’re also hoping we can raise enough money for a canopy too, so that patients can spend time in the garden even when it’s raining.
