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

Hello Again!

 

I know it seems like I'm constantly asking for money here (imagine what my parents must feel like), but there are so many good causes and so many great challenges! 

 

My aim is to swim 2 miles a week and to do the last mile in the Olympic pool in Sydney, Australia.

 

The Aspire charity provides help to those with spinal injury to help them achieve a more independant lifestyle.

 

Their website states:

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, with their families, in work-places and leisure time

 

Many thanks

Suzanne
