For the last year or so I have told people in the pool of my age as I want to inspire others to keep going. When I was 50 I did an escorted long distance walk through the Cotswolds, and was shocked that there was a couple in their 70’s doing a 5 day walk and it inspired me to keep active. Now here I am at 90 swimming 22 miles!

I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2022, swimming the distance of the English Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. 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!
