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

Story

I'm once again taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2020, swimming the distance of the English Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. This time my dad has joined me, we will be swimming as a team to cover the distance. I hope to swim in a few different pools including three lidos. Every four hours someone is paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury. In 2006, my mum was one of these people. 

Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice and housing that spinal cord injured people need to live their lives independently. I am incredibly proud to be a part of the aspire team, being able to help people like my mum.

This is a big challenge, but the more I raise, the more of a difference I'll make, so please be generous and give what you can.
