On 10th Sept 2016, our eldest son Benjamin was involved in a cycling incident with a life changing SCI .Whilst at Stoke Mandeville Hospital Ben was given support from so many people including Aspire.
Benjamin has inspired many with his attitude and strenght throughout . He hates being called an inspiration, so all I’ll say is that he has made me proud and inspired me to do the following .(I used to hate swimming)
I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2018, swimming the distance of the Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. Every eight hours someone is paralysed by a Spinal Cord Injury and Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice, housing and grants that spinal cord injured people need to live their lives independently. This is a big challenge, but the more I raise, the more of a difference I'll make, so please be generously
