yes you can because david walliams did.
On the 5th September 2011 the comedian, David Walliams (Little Britain), began his swim for the charity Sport Relief.He stepped into the Thames at Lechlade and swam a determined length each day. He was taken ill shortly after beginning his swim through contact and digestion of dirty river water. This caused a slight delay to the schedule, but he bravely got back in wearing a wetsuit and continued swimming the 140 miles planned of the 215 mile river until he reached Westminster Bridge in central London on the 12th September 2011. It was estimated at this point that his swim earned the charity well over 1 million pounds in donations.David even managed to save a dog along the way !This is not David's first swim for the charity. He has already swam the English Channel in 2006 and the Straight-of-Gibraltar in 2008.
Because it is funny ! It has a variety of characters and I have a resemblance to Andy in the wheelchair ! (I want that one !) It moves fast & doesn't dwell on its successes. And anyway, nuff respect to anyone that will swim the English Channel for charity.... (David Walliams in case you didn't know.) I wanted to wear my Little Britain T shirt when I went on the Weakest Link, but the BBC wouldn't let me !
