  • An Indian-origin woman entrepreneur in the UK is training to swim across the English Channel to raise funds to combat child-trafficking in India.

    Leah Chowdhry, who runs professional childcare service called Pop up, Party & Play, will set off from Dover on a grueling 35km swim to Calais in France on Wednesday to raise funds for British Asian Trust charity founded by Prince Charles.

  • "I am honored to be one of the first ever British Asian women to take on this challenge, with only just short of 1,500 people to ever complete the swim," said Chowdhry.

    She is set to battle with jelly fish, ship tankers, and seasickness during a journey expected to take on average 13 hours in light and darkness.

  • Leah will have family and friends in support boat traveling alongside her but, under Channel Swimming Association rules, she isn't allowed any human contact while undertaking the challenge.

    She has been training hard over the last six months to help raise funds. Chowdhry already raised more than £35,000 for this life-changing work.

    Around 1.2 million Indian children are subjected to commercial sexual exploitation.
