Royal Marine braves city's freezing waters in charity challenge

Tim Crossin, originally from Dorset, is travelling along the UK coastline in his campervan throughout January taking a cold dip each day to raise money for charities. Tim was inspired to undergo the challenge after he was diagnosed with cancer four times - the latest being in December, when a PET scan showed Tim’s cancer had returned and was in his esophagus, liver and spleen.
