I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2019, swimming the distance of the English Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. Every four hours someone is paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury and Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice and housing that spinal cord injured people need to live their lives independently. Lots of you will know that spinal injury is something which has affected my family and I know the difference that charities like these can make. I will be trying to get my 22 miles completed before the 12 week deadline, but I've never done anything like this before so I'm going to try my best!

 This is a big challenge, but the more I raise, the more of a difference I'll make, so please be generous!
