Channel Challenge for Mum

We lost our beloved Mum, Emma, in October 2020. To mark the four-year anniversary of her passing, Adam, Louise, Harriet, Zac, and others will honour her memory by taking on the Bude Sea Pool Channel Challenge on September 28, 2024. They will swim the equivalent of the English Channel—22 miles or 440 lengths—in the 91-metre long sea pool. We want to raise funds for the Aortic Centre Trust to raise awareness, support patients, and contribute to research for better treatment and prevention.
Dr Stanley Payne

Stan was a wonderful, warm and loving person. He was a gentle giant and gave the best cwtches ever and will be remembered with a smile for his humor and his generous nature. He was respected and loved by all that knew him . Stan was sadly taken well before his time. The best husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. Stan was my rock, my soulmate and best friend.
