As many of you know I used to be a swimmer, emphasis on "used to be". Over the years life has got in the way and i now teach it but dont do it myself, which makes me sad. I have decided to jump back into it and take on the Aspire Channel Swim 2023, swimming the distance of the English Channel – 22 miles, over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. I won't be going it alone though, I have joined my swim schools team and us teachers will be attempting the challenge together.

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 sponsor me, and my team, and be generous!
