Thank you for taking the time to visit my page.
Starting in September I’ll be swimming 22 miles – the equivalent of swimming across the English Channel – to raise money for people who have been paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury.
Every eight hours someone is paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury. It can happen to anyone at any time, and there is currently no cure. Every pound that I raise means that Aspire can provide practical help to a spinal injured person, allowing them to live a more independent life, so please donate as much as you can and help make a difference.
Although I’m a swimmer, this is still a challenge, but to make it ever harder for myself I plan to swim 1 mile per day over 22 days in 22 different local pools. I suspect that this will be a logistics challenge as much as a swimming one.
I’m also working with Aspire to help raise the profile of this event, but will be doing the challenge and hoping to raise money as a regular participant.
I’d be grateful for your support.

Aspire does great work, so I’d love your support.
But as I mentioned, I’m also working with them to raise the profile of this event to pools and leisure centres. If you want to persuade your local pool to get more involved in the challenge please let me know (you can do it without their direct involvement though – just swim!).

22 miles in 12 weeks sounds a little easier than 24 miles in 24 hours. It sounds as though it will be an interesting swimming journey, albeit free from jelly fish, ferries and other large ships. Good luck with the swims
The numbers do seem to stack up better this time don’t they? However the logistics of this challenge are far, far worse.
I’m going to look out for “Aspire” hats all autumn and winter now, just in case you’re swimming where I am. Feeling inspired to aspire too.
Good luck!
Wow….good luck for this, what a great cause….let us know if you need more help with exposure to the event!
