Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I really apprecaite it.

In July, as part of a band of brothers, I will swim the channel for Aspire. Aspire provides practical help to people who have been paralysed by spinal cord injury, supporting them from injury to independence. Every four hours someone is paralysed by a spinal chord injury and Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice and housing that people need to get back to living an independent life.

"As a relay?!" I have been challenged...To put the Channel Swim into context, more people have climbed Everest (6,000+) than swam the English Channel (1,827 solo swims and 951 relays).

That said, being (unhealthily) competitive, and one to rise to every attempt at being goaded, please watch this space as to how we are making this already really challenging event even more so!

The relay will be a test physical and mental ability. more testing is there are no wetsuits allowed! Just rather small Budgie Smugglers!

I am hugely proud to be swimming on behalf of a fantastic charity like Aspire, so anything you're willing to donate would be amazing and make a huge difference to those impacted by spinal injuries.
