After a year's break I'm once again taking on the Aspire Channel Swim, swimming the distance of the English Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. This will be my 13th time taking on this challenge so wish me luck! 

Why am I doing this? 

Well I like a challenge and this is good one for those long autumnal evenings when motivation to exercise can easily drop so this keeps me going. Also 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!
