On Saturday 23 August 2014 I threw myself into the very black and very cold waters of Loch Lomond to help raise money for a a great cause: Aspire - http://www.aspire.org.uk/

I managed to come out the other side (relatively) unharmed and completed the mile course in 34 minutes 38 seconds, beating my target time. 

A huge thank you to everyone who supported me and donated to Aspire - I couldn't (and most likely wouldn't!!) have done it without you. 

Spinal Cord Injury has a devasting effect on 1,200 people who become paralysed each year. Through its project and programmes Aspire offers practical support to 40,000 people living with a spinal cord injury in the UK so that they can lead fulfilled and independent lives in their homes – something which many of us take for granted. 

If anyone would still like to donate there is still time for you to do so – either through JustGiving or by contacting me directly.  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
