How could I say no.... I've taken the challenge thrown down by my equally mad Acivico work colleagues Lucy Cross, Rav Billan, Manjit Sabbharwal, Sonya Clarke & Linda Gibbs to morph into a mermaid & swim the channel. Believe me it will be a challenge - I can't jump in a pool or put my head underwater but I will do this... I really will because the amazing work that the Aspire charity does will make me.... I will not fail 😊 

The #Acivifit challenge begins 🏊🏻🏊🏻🏊🏻

I'm taking on the Aspire Channel Swim 2017, swimming the distance of the Channel over 12 weeks 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 big challenge, but the more I raise, the more of a difference I'll make, so please be generous!
