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!

I will be swimming in a 25-metre pool so I will need to swim 1416 over the 12 weeks between 12th September and 5th December however as I already have a weeks holiday booked in October the challenge will be shortened by a week and I will need to swim 30 lengths a day, 5 times a week with two rest days.
