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 am doing the 2010 Channel Swim for Aspire.  This involves swimming 22 miles in 12 weeks in the comfort of my own pool (and in my case my pool on holiday!).  The target end date is 5th December.

Aspire supports people with spinal injuries.  Spinal Cord Injury has a devastating effect on the 1,200 people who become paralysed each year.  The individual affected will lose muscle and sensory control and the vast majority become full time wheelchair users for the rest of their lives.  Aspire offers practical support to the 40,000 people living with a spinal cord injury in the UK so that they can lead fulfilled and independent lives in their homes, with their families, in work-places and leisure time.

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. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.  Thank you.

Caroline.
