Swimming the English Channel

Beth Reeves is raising money for Aspire

English Channel Relay Swim · 15 July 2026

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

After a difficult few years a new challenge and focus was needed. Swimming especially in open water at the mercy of mother nature, has always been something that I have enjoyed but never really pursued. A close friend completed the channel last year, got off the boat, and simply said,'You have to do it,' so im going to try. The cold I know will be my biggest challenge, so im plunging straight in with cold water therapy. Wish me luck!!!!
