Henley Marathon Swim · 13 August 2023

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 very much for visiting my JustGiving page. 

This year I have signed up for a long-distance River Thames endurance swim from Henley to Marlow to support Aspire – approximately 13 kilometres in all. Last year I managed to swim the four mile challenge at Henley which involved swimming a mile, then walking back to the start, and swimming another mile, and repeat, and again. This year it's one long swim, clambering out to walk around the locks and then getting back into the water to continue swimming. The total distance is twice that of my previous sponsored swims.

Aspire provides practical help to people who have been paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury, supporting them from injury to independence. This charity does some amazing work and makes such a difference to people’s lives.
