Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are mostly colleagues at Liverpool University School of
Architecture. We work in the technical team, professional services and academic roles and we are joined by friend of the school Nour Al Tarsha.
We wanted to join the Aspire Swim the Channel Challenge but decided
that wasn't quite far enough. Over 12 weeks, between us, we will swim 246km, roughly the distance across the Irish Sea between Liverpool and Dublin (our local sea). Each member of the team has identified a distance to swim which will be a personal challenge for them based on their physical ability and personal commitments. As the autumn term progresses and the mornings and evenings will get darker and colder we will also get increasingly busy at work. So, your support will keep us motivated to continue getting in the pool regularly.
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 big challenge, but the more we raise, the more of a difference we'll make, so please be generous!
