I am Peter Lloyd and I had a mountain bike crash in August 2017, where I broke my neck at C3, paralysing me below my neck. I spent a year between hospitals, and during this time the support that Back Up provided really helped me, even if it was just a chat with someone with a SCI who had a similar outlook on life. 

I also hope that me doing this with as little assistance as possible will encourage others to push the boundaries of what is possible and live life to the fullest. 

The Snowdon Push is Back Ups toughest, yet most exhilarating fundraising event and tests each and every member to the max. It's an amazing experience that brings together people from all walks of life to work as a team and reach one of the highest points in the British Isles, all whilst raising funds for people with a spinal cord injury and their families. The Push involves teams of between 10 and 16 people aiming to conquer the highest mountain in England and Wales, Mount Snowdon, which is over 3,500 ft high. One member of each team must be a wheelchair user, which means pushing, pulling, climbing and wheeling as a team to reach the summit and back down again, covering approximately eight miles of steep, mixed surfaced terrain. This year we're really pushing the boat out again and plan to raise a whopping £65,000 over the weekend. This money will be used to help transform the lives of people affected by spinal cord injury across the UK.
