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

Most people know by now that I have a spinal cord injury from having a tethered spinal cord. I had surgery in 2018 but have been left with permanent damage to my spine, legs, bowels and bladder function. With the support of my neurology team, Aintree Healthy Bowels, Urologist, family and friends etc I have been able to learn how to live with my injury. However for some people even more support is needed. Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice and housing that spinal cord injured people need to live their lives.  

Facing losing my independence is an on going threat as my injury deteriorates but knowing there is support ready is a small relief. 

This is me trying to do my small part for other people also living with spinal cord injury 💙
