Over the next 12 weeks mum and I ,working together, will be swimming 22 miles across the English Channel (In our local pool) to raise money for people who have been paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury.

The reason why our team is called
The Turner Tortoises is because like tortoises we are not known for swimming but we are persistent and together we will leave all the hares behind (see the hare and the tortoise).
   
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.
