I'm taking on a 200 mile bike ride through Italy in support of Spinal Injuries Association. 

This is certainly going to be a challenge for me with a few hills. I have never taken part in a cycling event before or travelled aboard on my own!! 

Every day 7 people sustain a spinal cord injury, and though my work I see the life changing impact a spinal cord injury has. SIA are the leading national charity supporting the 50,000 people living with a spinal cord injury in the UK.

Your donations will make a difference!

£25 helps cover the cost of an SCI nurse specialist consultation. The nurses help SCI people to prepare emergency care plans, and support them and their healthcare professionals with bowel and bladder management. This small but vital intervention can save lives.

£50 pays toward regional support for SCI people. Families would struggle to cope without the practical advice and heartfelt empathy given by SIA regional support coordinators.

£75 Helps ensure NHS funding packages are in place so everyone with a SCI gets the care needed to live a fulfilled life.
