We fund groundbreaking research to cure paralysis.

Story

I did it.....I DID IT!!! That was seriously the hardest thing I ever did.  I now have some understanding of what its like to hear voices inside your head - like the one at mile 24 saying "its ok - just stop - it hurts so just stop"....BUT I didn't and I made it and I smiled and I am still walking.  So if you fancy sponsoring me after the fact then please do - I makes it all worth while.

Thanks everyone - and see below for details of my chosen charity. xxxx

Spinal Research is the UK’s leading charity funding medical research around the world to develop reliable treatments for paralysis caused by a broken back or neck.
Every year more than 800 people in the UK and Ireland are paralysed following an injury to their spinal cord. Spinal Research raises money to fund research into clinical treatments as well as vital basic science research. Thanks to such pioneering research, paralysis can now be treated and we stand on the brink of applying therapies that will restore movement and feeling and transform the lives of paralysed people
