Hi. I'm Peter Lloyd, a C3 tetraplegic (paralysed below my neck). I injured myself mountain biking in 2017 and Back Up supported me and my family after my accident. I went on to volunteer with them as a wheelchair skills trainer, and have climbed Mount Snowdon to fundraise.

I will be using my lockdown exercise tokens to climb the seven hills of Edinburgh in one ride from home in my chin controlled off-road wheelchair. These are Corstorphine Hill, Castle Rock, Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat, Blackford Hill, Braid Hills and Craighlockhart Hill. The ride will be approximately 20 miles. This would not be possible at any other time because of how busy Edinburgh City Centre is, which is why I am doing it now. I won't be taking any risks and will follow social distancing guidelines. I am waiting for a day of good weather to complete the challenge. 

I am aiming to raise upwards of £500 so that they can continue to provide their vital services at a time when some people will require additional support and carry on doing so in the future. 

If anybody is curious about the off-road wheelchair or some things that are still possible after a high-level spinal cord injury, find me on Instagram @peatylloyd.
