In September I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2017, swimming the distance of the Channel over 3 consecutive days 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 huge challenge - Aspire kindly gives everyone 12 weeks to complete the challenge, but being a glutton for punishment I have decided to swim it in 3 days in my local pool - Newport International Sports Village Swimming Pool. The length of the channel translated into 25m pool lengths = 1416!!!! So I am going to be swimming 472 lengths for each of those three consecutive days...aaah! I will be taking breaks inbetween sections of the swim for rests, drinks and snacks so feel free to watch/support/feed me sweets...haha! 

The more that I raise, the more of a difference I'll make, so please be as generous as you can!

Lots of love,

Lauren x
