We support people with Spinal Cord Injury to help them live full, independent lives

Story

The third challenge of the fat lad series. He's run 100 miles in one month, he's run a marathon and he's about to take on the English Channel. 

More people climb Mount Everest each year than successfully complete a crossing of the English Channel. There'll be currents, temperatures, fatigue and wildlife to navigate, as myself and a team of five others will be partaking in this relay in aid of Aspire UK.

 Aspire is an outstanding charity doing great work to support those with life-changing spinal injuries. Please give generously!
