“It’s not easy, he’s battling the elements at the moment, it’s probably the hardest part it’s been, harder than the night even,” Wave of Change campaign leader Melanie Vella told Jon Shaw, Bernice Casha and the rest of Malta. “But Neil is going strong, he’s as determined as ever, and the team is with him, as are we!”
Neil had set the world record back in June 2021 when he swam from Linosa to Xlendi, Gozo.
What lies ahead of Neil now is the final stretch of his behemoth 160-kilometre swim, one which he’ll complete alongside Malta’s southwestern coast.
