Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

Spinal Cord Injury has a devastating effect on the 1,200 people who become paralysed each year. The individual affected will lose muscle and sensory control and the vast majority become full time wheelchair users for the rest of their lives. Historically, the majority of spinal cord injuries have been sustained by those aged 15 to 40, with men outnumbering women, although increasingly it is affecting more older people too.

Through its projects and programmes, Aspire offers practical support to the 40,000 people living with a spinal cord injury in the UK so that they can lead fulfilled and independent lives in their homes, families, work-places and leisure time

During 17th September until the 9th December, a team of 12 guides from the 3rd Biggleswade Guides  will be swimming the English Channel (22 miles) for Aspire.   A further 4 guiders will swim a further 22 miles for this fantastic charity. We will be completing this task in our local pool giving a total of 1408 lengths.
