Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Colin Mather and due to a rather stupid mid life mistake, in May 2009, involving me and embankment and a motorcycle I now have a lovely comfy chair with wheels to take everywhere with me.

I'm a T4 Incomplete Paraplegic which will not mean much to most but basically I'm paralysed from the upper chest down and have some small sensation of touch and small amount movement.

Update 17th July.

So I've been on the Multi Activity Course in the Lake District and had an absolutely amazing time. Wonderfull experience and met somw great people. Back Up are definetly on the right track in opening your eyes to the potential you have inside, all of us, able bodied and SCI.

I will continue to try and raise money towards this great cause and with your help my total can contue to grow.

Thanks to all who have given and to anyone reading this who may be about to.

This could go on for a while if you keep supporting me to support The Back Up Trust. Help me post more embarrasing and probably painfull pictures - donate some money!!!
