“Plastic pollution is widespread, and I have an overwhelming urge to do as much as I can to clean it up and implement change”

– Oly Rush

This year’s CHALLENGE 2022

In May 2022, Oly Rush completed a world first non-stop swim around the entire Island of Grand Cayman to raise awareness of plastic pollution. This swim raised $25,000 for Plastic Free Cayman as well as £10,000 for Project Planet to help fund beach cleans & future swims. 

Oly visited numerous schools and government organisations helping to shed light on this issue and has helped bring back the single-use plastic ban to the surface.
