Channel Swim Relay 2026 - I must be mad!

Edel Hindley is raising money for Aspire

Channel Swim Relay · 13 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

Thank you for visiting this page and possibly donating to this special charity… you really will be powering me along as I take on my greatest challenge yet.

I’ve never been so excited and terrified at the same time. You all know how much I love to swim and how important swimming is to me - you’ve probably endured me trying to enlist you to swim in some silly temperatures or mad places at some stage. This swim will absolutely push me and it will take much work, grit and perseverance to get to the end. And it’s not just about swimming but jellyfish, seasickness and mad big tankers!

I’m blessed to have this opportunity and also blessed to be fit, healthy and strong enough to consider this. All your kind donations will be used to help others who have not been as lucky.
