A donor has pledged to match every pound raised for Dementia Jersey through this weekend's Jersey–France Challenge, up to a total of £20,000.
It's been made through the charity's Donor Advised Fund with Jersey Community Foundation, and means each donation by islanders will essentially double.
A £10 gift becomes £20, and a £50 gift becomes £100.
The Jersey-France swim challenge will begin at La Coupe Bay on Saturday, 8 August, where one team member will dive straight into the sea to start the swim relay.
The 14-mile swim will take teams of two to six people to the beach north of Carteret Marina, via the south of Les Ecrehous.
Nadine Jagger-Ferguson, Fundraising and Communications Coordinator at Dementia Jersey, said:
“It's so generous, and we are so grateful; being able to double the money raised makes a huge difference.
"Every pound raised helps us continue to do what we do for islanders with dementia and their families and carers.
"Fundraising like this really makes a difference in people's lives, so we'll be cheering them on, and wishing them a smooth crossing!"
