We support people with Spinal Cord Injury to help them live full, independent lives

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have survived 2 car crashes (1982 and 2000) and more recently a nasty knock off my bicycle (not to mention the rollerskate accident at the age of 9 - head on collision with a concrete wall !).

I have been lucky and walked away each time. Not so with everybody.

I am all about healthy living and aim to live by example. I live a very active life and promote natural health as a career. I am a regular swimmer, have completed four triathlons and a 5 km swim from Gozo to Malta (for ASPIRE). I now feel ready to take on an even bigger challenge.   

This, together with my history of accidents, is the reason for my next project - a sponsored TRI-CONTINENTAL CHALLENGE. Relay Channel Swim - Cycle across Cuba - Himalayain Trek to Everest Base Camp. All 3 'legs' for ASPIRE. ASPIRE is the Charity that supports people with spinal cord injuries.

Please look up ASPIRE.ORG.UK for more details of this charity 

The TRI CONTINENTAL CHALLENGE will take place between Summer 2011 and Spring 2012. I need to raise £7000

Leg 1 - Relay Swim English Channel - Summer 2011

Leg 2 - Cycle across Cuba - Autumn 2011

Leg 3 - Himalayian Trek, Everest Base Camp - Spring 2112
