The Aspire Channel Swim 2009 · 6 December 2009 ·

Every two hours someone in the UK is paralysed by a spinal cord injury. It can happen to anyone at any time and no one is prepared for how it will change their life. Aspire is a national charity that provides practical help, supporting spinal cord injured people from injury to independence.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

As some of you may be aware Adele & I have been taking part in the Aspire Swim challenge this year - the aim being to swim the equivalent of the Channel in our local swimming pool.  That's a total of 1416 lengths! 

 

We have just over a week to go before the deadline is up and have only got about 4 sessions to go to complete this target - haven't we done well?!  BUT we need a little bit of support to get us through the last few lengths. 

 

We know times are difficult, but we would really appreicate it if you could donate something towards us achieving this goal. All money goes towards Aspire, which is a national charity providing practical support, funding and advice to people with spinal cord injuries. 

 

  • £100 will buy the duvet and pillows for one of our adapted houses
  • £350 will buy SmartNav technology for a PC to enable someone with a high level spinal injury to use a computer
  • £700 will buy a laptop and an accessible bed table for a child in hospital so they can continue to study and stay connected to friends whilst recovering
  • £1,000 will provide a rise and fall hob or sink in one of our adapted houses
  • £2,500 will buy a made to measure light weight wheelchair
