Our top fundraisers for February are a team of fifteen swimmers who took part in the Aspire Channel Swim. 

Last September, Angela Dangerfield and her friends Tim, Sinead, Carly, Kerrie, Kristy, Anouska, Lorraine, Kate, Aimee, Sarah, Sue, Annette, Jane and Jan from Gloucestershire, all signed up for the Aspire Channel Swim.  It was the first time that the team had participated in the challenge and they relished the opportunity to take part in an activity they all love while raising money for Aspire at the same time.

The team have raised a fantastic £2881.22 for swimming the 22 miles in their local pool, which will help Aspire to change the lives of more people living with a spinal injury. Commenting on the challenge Angela said,

"We loved taking part in the swim as a team, it gave us a reason to go down to the pool and would encourage as many people as possible to take part in 2011."

If you feel inspired by Angela and her team’s story, and want more information about how you can take part in the Aspire Channel Swim 2011, call 0800 0370 880.
