The RNLI and the Wishing Well Appeal for Great Ormond Street Hospital both benefitted from the efforts of the Channel Challenge team, members of which sailed 80 miles from Guernsey to Devon in a converted bathtub.

The team, two of whom are crew members of the Guernsey lifeboat, undertook the challenge last summer and raised a magnificent £6,600.

Little Rebecca Fossey, who receives treatment at the hospital, presented £5,000 to the Wishing Well Appeal and £ 1,600 to Peter Bisson, coxswain of the St Peter Port lifeboat. Her uncle, Robert Dodsworth, (a crew member) thanked everyone concerned for their support, including the lifeboat crew's wives who helped raise £400 by pushing a bathtub around Guernsey.
