Olly's channel swim for his big brother and others with spinal cord injurys
Katrina Embra is raising money for Aspire
Story
I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2024, swimming the distance of the English Channel – 22 miles, over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire.
My name is Olly and I'm 13 years old. I have decided to take on this challenge for my big brother Jordan. He suffered and spinal cord injury in November and spent a long time in hospital and then Stoke Mandeville NSCI rehabilitation centre. During his time there Aspire was one of the many supporting charities that helped him. The whole rehab journey that Jordan has and is still on has been quite a roller-coaster for him and everyone around him. We are so greatful for all of the support that he has received and we are so incredibly proud of him. He has been amazing and so strong. Im not going to pretend that it has been easy but as a family we are supporting each other as we always have.
We are hoping to raise lots of money to continue to support Jordan and anyone else with spinal cord injurys as they are completely life changing.
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 be generous!
