CLIC Sargent, Kezia’s Fund, Lily’s Fund, The LouLou Sporting Foundation will all get a share of the money raised.

Peter . who is CEO of Prosperity 24/7 - says they are all deliberately 'young person-focused'.

The swims will be at the Aquasplash, followed by cycling routes through the island’s lanes, and marathon runs along St Aubin's Bay.

The 52 year old is no stranger to adventure, having previously rowed the atlantic
