About Michael Nicholson

Profile picture

I have never been a big fan of the sea but I was keen to change my lifestyle and take the plunge to start off my health kick. I got into sea swimming with a little help from my fellow Le Hocq Rocks, and now the rest is history! I want to turn my life around and this is the new me! I am taking on a big challenge with my sea swimming friends - We are swimming 30 bays in 1 day on Friday the 5th of July and would really appreciate the support from all my loved ones. Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Watch our journey unfold on the 5th of July! 

Fundraising Information

This fundraising page benefits the following good causes:


Jersey Hospice Care (Deprecated)

Jersey Hospice Care offers specialist palliative care to patients with any life limiting illness. Our aim is that patients are enabled to live the remainder of their lives to the full, to remain at home if they wish and to die with dignity where they choose. Our care is about so much more than the specialist palliative treatment of a person's physical symptoms. It's a total philosophy of care, offering spiritual and emotional support that extends to family members and carers. For each person we are privileged to care for, we only get one chance at the end of life to get it right and that's why we strive every day to go that extra mile for our patients and their families, to make extraordinary care our 'ordinary'. Helping each person we care for to get the best out of every day and to make each day count.

It costs £5,977,600 million each year to maintain our services, yet all of our services to patients and families remain free of charge. We rely on the support of fundraising by the community, local companies, and trusts and the income from our retail shops to enable us to continue caring for patients coming to terms with a life-limiting condition and to support their families and loved ones.

National Trust for Jersey

Celebrating its 90th Anniversary in 2026, the National Trust for Jersey, an independent, self-funding charity, is a proud and steadfast guardian of Jersey's wild and unique spaces.  

With its dramatic coastline, rich marine environment, distinctive vernacular architecture, and hedge lined country lanes, Jersey retains a strong sense of place, identity and above all, beauty. But these qualities are always at risk, now more than ever.

Threats from unsuitable development, creeping urbanisation, unsustainable farming practices and short term economic policies have resulted in a serious decline in wildlife and the poorer health of our environment. Tranquillity is becoming increasingly precious.

The National Trust seeks to champion and protect the distinctive elements that make Jersey 'Jersey', so that they remain at the very heart of Island life. We do this through an incredible programme of cultural events, practising sustainable management led by expert conservationists and by promoting and increasing awareness of the value of our marine spaces, countryside and historic environment to all Islanders. 

From coastline and cliff paths, woodlands and wetlands, meadows and marshes, as well as managing nearly 40 historical properties, the National Trust will never give up on our irreplaceable nature and rich heritage. 

By supporting our work, you ensure that Jersey is preserved and protected not just for today, but for generations to come.

About 30 Bays in 30 Days 2024

You can now sign up for our exciting summer challenge where we encourage you to explore and enjoy 30 different bays in the month of July.

We want you to swim, paddleboard, kayak, surf – or anything else you can think of! The challenge is open to people of all ages who want to get outdoors and take advantage of our stunning beaches, while raising money for two local charities – Jersey Hospice Care and the National Trust for Jersey.

We encourage all those registered to start the challenge on 1 July and complete a minimum of 30 strokes, 30 times in bays local to them. Participants can pick their favourite bays or if they want an extra challenge, can attempt all 30 during the month of July. Participants may carry on in August to complete as many bays as they have challenged themselves to complete! 

We will be holding an opening swim on Sunday 30 June at 11:30. Our closing swim will be held on Wednesday 31 July at 17:30. Both will be held at Greve De Lecq this year.

Participants will receive a 30 Bays poster map and sticker chart for younger swimmers, and the first 200 to sign up will receive a 30 Bays swim hat.
