Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In May 2023 me and Helen will be taking on the Spinal Injuries Association's Oversea's Cycle Challenge. Over 3 days we will cover a total distance of 200+ Miles. Climbing Hills, battling weather and facing anything else the challenge throws our way, we want to raise as much money for the SIA as possible. PLEASE HELP!

Background - In 2015 I sustained a spinal cord injury from a road traffic accident in Thailand. Since then my life has been turned upside down and changed dramatically. This left me paralysed from the belly button down and learning how to do such things as go to the bathroom independently again and adapt to life in a wheelchair. SIA supported me at my lowest points and helped me turn into the man I am today. Without there support I fear I may not be here today. They helped me adjust to life after injury and supported me on my way to living a very fulfilled life. I now work for the SIA helping people come to terms with life changing injuries. We help people move on to live fulfilled lives no matter what the cause of injury or the level of impairment, the SIA will help them rebuild their lives. 

As a charity they do not receive any government funding and rely heavily on donations. Please help us reach our goal and help this charity continue doing their amazing work Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
