Elizabeth's fundraiser for Aspire

Elizabeth Boffey is raising money for Aspire

Aspire Solent Swim · 20 July 2025 to 14 September 2025 ·

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This August I’m taking on the challenge of swimming the Solent - from my home in Gosport to the Isle of Wight.

I can see the Isle of Wight on my beautiful walks down on Stokes Bay and have always wanted to swim over …. It feels like it’s in touching distance …. It’s a 3 mile swim ….. I’ve been open water swimming now for more than a year and it’s helped me to rebuild / refind me. My friends and family also know I’m driven by a challenge and whilst this is a slightly daunting one I know it will bring me joy.

This is a personal objective of mine but also for a charity I’ve raised for before - swimming the English Channel in my local swimming pool through covid gave me purpose and direction at another tough time.

I’ve suffered with on and off back aches and pains and am very grateful to be able to physically do what I want to in life. This charity helps those who are not so fortunate and I’m glad to be able to support .

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Even a small donation will help me achieve my goal and support Aspire. Your donation will also make me more driven to succeed as I know you are behind me.

Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thankyou for your kindness . Liz x
