ASPIRE Channel Swim 2006 · 3 December 2006 ·

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

Hiya!

I've now finished my swim, six weeks early!  Thanks to everyone who sponsored me offline, and big thanks to Corinne for being the only person that has sponsored me online so far!  If you'd like to keep Coz company on this page, please don't be shy - make a donation!

Thanks again to all my sponsors xxx 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.  Any amount no matter how small would be very gratefully received.

I am taking part in the Aspire Channel Swim.  What I have to do is swim 22 miles (the length of the English Channel - but without the lard or the jellyfish!) between the period of 11th September - 3rd December.

I am swimming at Herne Bay pool which is 25m long, so I need to do 1408 lengths - yikes!!

The reason that I am doing this is because it is for an excellent cause.  I was in a serious road accident when I was 16, which left me unable to walk unaided for 2 and a half years.  This has made me appreciate the gift of mobility every single day. 

Many sponsorship challenges involve running, which sadly as a result of my accident I can't do, but I can swim like a little fish so I thought - yes, finally something I can do!

Please do sponsor me, even if you could spare £1 that would be brilliant - from little acorns and all that! Thanks again and have a great day!! xxxxx

I'd like to add a big thank you to my colleagues and company for their generosity - it's going to an excellent cause.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: ASPIRE will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
