Oly Rush went for a day off and came back with a 261-mile swim and a charity.
How a Bag of Rubbish on a Dorset Beach Turned into a 261-Mile Swim for the Ocean
In June 2018, plasterer Oly Rush took a rare day off at Chapman's Pool in Dorset, found plastic instead of surf, and started filling a bag. That cleanup grew into Project Planet Earth, a charity that runs beach cleans along the South Coast and has visited more than 25 primary schools, reaching over 1,000 children. Rush also completed a 261-mile swim for the ocean.
