This winter Amaya and I are taking on the Aspire Channel Swim challenge. We plan to conquer 22miles in 12 weeks - the distance of the English Channel in our local pool to raise money for Aspire.

We are aiming to complete at least 147 lengths (2miles) between us every week before work and after school.

We are doing this because every four hours someone is paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury and Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice and housing that spinal cord injured people need to live their lives independently. This is a big challenge, but the more we can raise, the more of a difference it can make.

Thank you

Amaya & Tesh
