I'm 14 years old so this challenge is a big one for me.  I am doing this for a healthier lifestyle and to help people who need it the most.  I am taking on this challenge with my mum and 4 others friends.  We are taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2017, swimming the distance of the Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. Every eight hours someone is paralysed by a Spinal Cord Injury and Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice, housing and grants that spinal cord injured people need to live their lives independently. This is a big challenge, but the more we raise, the more of a difference we will make, so please be generous!
