Chris Gale swam across the Channel to raise money for Angelman Syndrome research!
On August 2, Chris Gale managed to swim across the Channel from England to France. With this he raised money for research into Angelman Syndrome.
With 2 Angelman markings on his back, Chris entered the water at 6:35 AM, starting his journey through the cold water 10 minutes later. Almost 16 hours later he arrived on the French mainland where he was enthusiastically welcomed by Arjan van Hal with his Angelman daughter Femke, who enthusiastically applauded this great achievement!
The collected amount will benefit the pioneering research of Prof. dr. Ype Elgersma of the Angelman Syndrome Expertise Center of ENCORE.
