Colleagues from a Stanmore-based charity have beaten this year’s 22-mile Aspire Channel Swim challenge within two weeks of the start of the event.
The challenge sees participants swim the width of the English Channel over 12 weeks in their local pool to raise funds for Aspire, a charity which supports people with spinal cord injuries.
The 10 members of the Aspire Pterodactyls team have made an incredible start, collectively swimming 22 miles within the first two weeks of the challenge. They are now aiming to swim a further 22 miles ‘back to England’ before the end of the challenge on Monday, December 2.
Katy Boyd, who manages the Aspire Channel Swim, said: “It’s fantastic to see staff at Aspire teaming up and embracing the challenge in this way.
“Every year, amazing swimmers all over the UK go to great lengths for Aspire.”
Having already raised £2,353 to support people with spinal injuries, Aspire are encouraging more people to join the challenge, regardless of their swimming ability, and donate to the cause.
