Throughout March and April, at St Austell Leisure Centre, Milo swam 22 miles before and after school, and successfully swam his target distance.

Milo said: 'I have decided to try to swim the length of English Channel, because I want to help people with diabetes. My goal is to raise £100, but any more than that would be amazing'. 

We are pleased to report that he has raised an amazing £360 for Diabetes UK, absolutely smashing his target!

As a keen swimmer, he is now looking forward to his next swimming challenge.
