In memory of Christopher Tickle
We fund research into spinal cord injury to find a cure for spinal injury paralysis

Story

In September 2009, Christopher Tickle, my best friend, suffered a severe neck injury when a rugby scrum collapsed. He died in hospital three weeks later. Christopher was a highly popular 23 year-old with a great love of life and sports and beer, an infectious sense of humour and a willingness to help and support others. His legacy has been to inspire a wide range of fund-raising activities to support research into spinal injuries. The Christopher Tickle Fund has joined up with the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation and all funds raised in Christopher’s name will be channelled towards this vitally important research.

I've been given 4 days notice to push myself 10k so don't expect a world record.  For the people that know me stop laughing and get donating your beer money.  I'm sure that Chris will be laughing somewhere.
