Scarlett's fundraiser for Aspire

Scarlett Buchanan is raising money for Aspire

Aspire Channel Swim 2025 · 25 July 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

Swimming the Channel seemed like a great idea at the time – how hard could it be, right? Turns out, pretty hard! But hey, it’s not every day you get to tick “swim to France” off the bucket list. While I’ll be battling cold water, jellyfish, and questionable life choices, it’s all for an amazing cause – raising funds for Aspire, who help people with spinal cord injuries live life to the fullest.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to see someone willingly turn themselves into a human popsicle, now’s your chance to support a good cause while you laugh at my misadventures. Every donation makes a difference – and helps keep me motivated to keep swimming instead of flagging down a ferry! 🏊‍♂️

Please join me on this journey by donating and cheering me on! 💙
