Hello Everyone,

10 years ago I was paralysed following a motorbike accident when I was competing in America. It changed my whole life and at times over the last 10 years things have been really difficult, I have always dealt with everything on my own, not realising how much support is there for you if you ask. When I finally realised I needed a bit of help it was Backup who took me away skiing and it has changed my life. They have given me something to aim for and I have realised that having other people around you who have been through a similar experience has so many benefits. .

I am taking on the Snowdon push July 10th-12th. Myself and 15 of my family a friends will help me climb Mount Snowdon the biggest Mountain in England and Wales which is over 3,500 ft high.

So often people raise money for a cure but they forget about the people who are living with a spinal cord injury and Backup are there for that reason only. Please support this amazing cause and lets give other people with spinal injuries the same opportunity that Backup gave me.
