Raising money for Aspire

Aspire Channel Swim 2020 · 5 October 2020 to 30 June 2021 ·

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

Ok so that's not us!!!! BUT we are going to attempt to swim the same distance in a swimming pool - over 12 weeks. Not such a challenge you might think. Perhaps the biggest challenge for Vicky and myself is finding the time, so we will be hitting the pool at 6.30 in the morning come rain or shine for the next 12 weeks counting down the lengths til we reach our goal. We began swimming in a lake in the Summer to improve our fitness but as the nights have drawn in and the cold has begun to bite we have moved to the local swimming pool - much warmer and more civilised even at ungodly hours of the morning. We would very much like to raise some money as well as our heart rates for people paralysed by spinal chord injury through the Aspire challenge. If you can help us out please do!
