Lizzie's Channel Relay Swim for Aspire

Lizzie Jenn is raising money for Aspire

Channel Swim Relay · 28 August 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

I am swimming the English Channel with our relay team 'Aspire Badgers' in August 2025!

300 swimmers attempt it each year with a success rate of 40 -50%. This compared to 800 people attempting Everest a year!

As per the Channel Swimming Association rules, I shall be wearing my swimming cossie, goggles and hat only, and I hope very much that there are minimal jellyfish🪼 I also hope that the wind, weather, currents and tides will be kind and give us the best chance of success 🏊‍♂️🌀🌊.

I will be training very hard, both in the pool and sea, making sure I am acclimatised to the cold and fit enough for the conditions.

Aspire do amazing work in providing all types of support to people and their families with Spinal Cord Injurie. Your money is really going to make a difference so thank you so much for sponsoring 🥰
