My story
Last year I read the fantastic book - Looking Up - which detailed the amazing work done by Aspire and their spinal recovery team. We have since used their mixed ability swimming pool in Stanmore and Ella spent many happy times in their specially designed pool alongside sufferers of spinal injuries.
This year, thanks to the generosity of Nuffield Sports Center who are covering the costs of entry to their 20m pool in Paddington, London, I am attempting to raise £500 for Aspire as part of their Swim The Channel challenge. This will see me attempt to swim the equivalent of the English Channel which maps out at 22 miles or approx 1,770 lengths!
Aspire is a charity that works with people with spinal cord injury to create opportunity, choice and independence. Aspire receives no statutory funding, so every penny raised through the Aspire Channel Swim will help us to continue our vital work.
• £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.
