Next August 8th I'll attempt to swim the channel between Jersey and Carteret on the French coast, around 22 km, together with my team —"Team Spain": my brothers Jorge and Marco, my son Kai, my niece Blanca as the team doctor, and me. It's not the first time we've taken on a challenge like this. On 8 August 2018, exactly eight years ago, we swam the Strait of Gibraltar and raised funds in the fight against childhood cancer. This time we're swimming for a cause that's close to us. Dementia changes the life of the person affected and everyone around them. Research, family support and proper care depend in large part on initiatives like this one. That's why we swim. Every stroke through cold, open water is our way of contributing something. Your donation adds to that effort and goes straight to those working every day against dementia. Thank you for joining us in the water —even if it's from the shore. 


Una Famila. Un Canal. Este verano intentaré cruzar a nado el canal que separa Jersey de la costa francesa de Carteret —unos 22 km— junto a mi equipo, "Team Spain": mis hermanos Jorge y Marco, mi hijo Kai, mi sobrina Blanca como la doctora del equpo, y yo. No es la primera vez que nos lanzamos juntos a un reto como este. El 8 de agosto de 2018, hace exactamente ocho años, cruzamos el Estrecho de Gibraltar y recaudamos fondos para la lucha contra el cáncer infantil. Esta vez nadamos por otra causa que nos toca de cerca. La demencia cambia la vida de quien la sufre y la de todos los que la rodean. La investigación, el apoyo a las familias y el cuidado de las personas afectadas dependen en buena parte de iniciativas como esta. Por eso nadamos. Cada brazada en aguas frías y abiertas es nuestra forma de aportar algo. Tu donación se suma a ese esfuerzo y va directa a quienes trabajan cada día contra la demencia. Gracias por acompañarnos en el agua, aunque sea desde la orilla.

About Jersey France Challenge 2026

The Jersey France Challenge is a 14 mile challenge and will be open to teams of 2-6 people, each competing head to head to be the first team to cross the finish line.

The challenge will again begin from the shores of Jersey (Fliquet Bay) with one team member diving straight into the sea, to start the swim relay challenge. The 14-mile swim see teams route to the south of Jersey’s, Les Ecrehous Reef before navigating their route to the shores of Carteret, France.

On completion of the challenge, there will be a fun prize-giving, with prizes presented for both wetsuit and non-wetsuit wearing teams. A full list of the prize categories can be found on our website. 

The prize-giving will be followed with a social evening, to include food and drink, to celebrate the achievements of the day. Everyone is welcome, so feel free to invite your friends and family to join us for the celebrations. 

We are pleased to confirm that we will again raise valuable funds for Dementia Jersey, previously known as Jersey Alzheimer’s Association and with your help, we want to raise even more funds in 2026. Please help our fundraising efforts by donating to Dementia Jersey on our event fundraising link which will follow shortly. This year, to support the charity there is a guide amount of £500 per team to be raised through Sports Giving, which can be set up through the Race Nation registration process. There will also be the addition of a fundraising leader board so we can all see which team is raising the most funds!
