In the 25 September issue of the BDJ we reported that dentist Jim Lafferty was preparing to swim the English Channel to raise funds for Dentaid (Volume 229, issue 6).
Despite crashing waves, exhaustion, hidden rocks and a jellyfish sting on the face, Jim completed the swim on 14 September and at the time of writing had raised £6,904 for the charity.
