Jo's 2022 Channel Swim

Aspire Channel Swim 2022 · 5 December 2022 to 31 March 2023 ·
I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2022, swimming the distance of the English Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. I have completed this distance in a pool in 2018 and in the North sea in 2019.
The swims were so tough, dodging jellyfish, mild hypothermia, weather and seasickness which I didn't realise I suffered until my first swim.
But each time I brought my thoughts back to the cause of why I was doing it.
I swim with the tide, not in a tidal pool, observing the ebb and flow of the tides, marking the passing of time is the most beautiful experience.
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. This is a big challenge, but the more I raise, the more of a difference I'll make, so please be generous!
If you want to join me, please get in touch, I swim in the East Basin in Anstruther almost daily. I'm the one looking a little less mermaid and hair like tow rope!
