Aspire Channel Swim 2019 · 9 September 2019 to 2 March 2020 ·

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

We are taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2019, 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. 

Both our parents have survived vertebra breaks in the past and are very fortunate not to have suffered spinal cord damage. It's reassuring to know help from Aspire is available for those who do need it. 

This is a big challenge for us - more than double our usual weekly swim distance - but the more we raise, the more of a difference we'll make, so please be generous!
