An 11-year-old boy Bolsover boy is preparing to swim the equivalent of the English Channel twice over as he takes on his next charity fundraising challenge.

Hayden Hudson will take on the national Swim22 challenge between July 22 and October 22 to raise vital funds for Diabetes UK.

The challenge gives participants 12 weeks to swim 22 miles in their local pool, but keen swimmer Hayden has decided to go one step further and swim 44 miles, the equivalent distance of swimming to France and back, with the aim of completing 150 lengths a day.
