Sportsman: Open water and marathon swimmer.
Has completed several unique crossings in Portuguese waters and aims to swim the great crossings around the world.
Holder of the fastest time overall of 2008 for the English Channel Swim, completing the distance between England and France in 9h30m.
“In the crossings I have done and those which I plan to do in the future, I have always added an ecological dimension to my sporting achievement. Seas, rivers, dams and lakes are the stages for my challenges. As such I use the media coverage I attract to raise awareness about issues such as water pollution and the need to preserve marine ecosystems and endangered species. This is why I was nominated in 2008 as the UN Ambassador for the Year of the Dolphin. I therefore see in the Ice Care Project a perfect alliance between a sporting event and a clear environmental intervention, a shout for help to halt climate change and global warming. This is why I am happy to be associated with this project.”
