Relay Swimming the Channel · 25 July 2022

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the end of July, I will be relay swimming the channel in aid of the London based charity Aspire. Inspired by last years relay swim from fellow UOSSWPC team mates, I thought I would give it a go and challenge myself.

In preparation we will be training in freezing cold water for the next few months- no wetsuits allowed! 

Aspire are an amazing charity, and help rehabilitate and provide resources for spinal cord patients. We visited their London base in November, and was moved by the stories of those whose lives have been changed for the better by this charity.

So please help us support them by donating to our swim! 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
