We all know that accidents can happen at any time and to anyone. Accidents damaging the spinal cord means paralysis. Unfortunately one of my family was recently in an accident involving a spinal cord injury, so this swimming challenge is to raise funds for Aspire, a charity which can help him and others with spinal cord injuries. 

Any donation would be very much appreciated.  Thanks in advance. 

Info from Aspire: I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2019, swimming the distance of the English Channel over 12 weeks to raise money for Aspire. Every four hours someone is paralysed by Spinal Cord Injury and Aspire provides the essential equipment, advice and housing that spinal cord injured people need to live their lives independently. This is a big challenge, but the more I raise, the more of a difference I'll make, so please be generous!
