Manage episode 377978084 series 3486876
Have you ever wondered what it takes to swim the English Channel solo? Meet Laura Reineke, a fearless woman, fresh from the challenge. She shares her riveting 15-hour journey, fighting harsh weather, jellyfish and huge tankers, all while maintaining a laser-like focus and determination. Laura's monumental feat wasn't just a personal triumph, but a clarion call to address the pressing issue of water pollution. Laura tells us how her work campaigning for clean water as one of the Henley Mermaids swimmers has taken her across the country as she stands alongside the likes of Feargal Sharkey and Steve Backshall demanding water companies are held to account. Her story is a testament to the unbeatable human spirit and the power of single-minded resolve. She's a staunch crusader against sewage pollution in the Thames and advocates for robust sewage treatment systems. She's also a believer in music for all, and founder of the charity Henley Music School, but the school is struggling financially. Without additional funds it won't be able to carry on and hundreds of people in Henley who benefit from subsidised lessons,including hundreds of children and people with additional needs will lose out .
