Aspire Loch Ness relay swim · 31 July 2023

Every two hours someone in the UK is paralysed by a spinal cord injury. It can happen to anyone at any time and no one is prepared for how it will change their life. Aspire is a national charity that provides practical help, supporting spinal cord injured people from injury to independence.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are training hard this year, mostly swimming outdoors to be ready for swimming the length of Loch Ness,. During the relay we'll be taking turns of an hour, without a wetsuit. We'll re-warm and recover on the boat in between swims. The water will be cool, deep and dark and the weather changeable in northern Scotland. Plus there may be a monster! We expect to swim 22 miles in about 15 hours as a team and raise money for the fantastic charity Aspire. Last Sunday 21/4/23, I achieved the qualifying swim in water 13.2C, swimming two hours with a 1 hour outside the pool in between swims, which was tough!
