Unbelievable!man who is swimming from Senegal to Brazil for charity
i wonder if this man is a fish or an human being
Meet Ben Hooper, the man who's
swimming from Senegal to Brazil in a
bid to become the first person to
swim the Atlantic Ocean.
More people have landed on the
moon than have swum an ocean in
full, Ben is hoping to add his name
to that list. It'll take him around 120
days of swimming in two sessions,
totaling around 2000km. He'll sleep
on a support boat over night to avoid
the risks of sharks and jelly fish.
Speaking to Caroline Barker he said
he was motivated by "a little bit of
ego... I'd be a liar if I said there isn't
an element of me trying to push
myself and see what I'm capable of,
but I think this is something so much
bigger, it's about showing that
nothing's impossible."
