Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  

On August 1st, 2017,  myself and four other swimmers from the U.K. will brave  22 miles of the chilly Loch Ness waters and hope the monster is friendly!   This swim is a personal challenge for me as well, and part of my vacation as I visit my ancestral home.  I can't think of a better way to make a lasting connection and memory than swimming in this old, deep, cold, and beautiful place.

Even better, is that while I get to have this experience, the Loch Ness Relay swims in support of people with spinal cord injury.

Life can turn on a dime, as I have seen in my years of healthcare, and from personal stories not far from home. It takes tremendous personal spirit to recover to one's optimal ability. It also takes money.  Disability is expensive-from lightweight wheelchairs to housing and therapy.

Aspire visits  newly injured patients in the hospital offering support and advice.  Aspire Grants assist with the purchase of equipment, housing, and retraining to help people live more independent and fulfilled lives.

Our health and mobility are a gift that we often take for granted.  I'm so fortunate to be able to go on this trip, and swim in this event.   I am happy to support Aspire!   I hope you can help me support them! 

My goal is 1350.00 by July 1st, 2017.    Any contribution will be appreciated!

Thankyou!  Erica
