After being seriously hurt when a car hit me from behind whilst cycling I am endeavouring to run/walk 100km along the Ridgeway with my wonderful friend Fiona. The accident has left me with life changing injuries as I sustained 5 fractured vertebrae in my back, sternum and rib fractures, massive soft tissue injuries, acute kidney injury  and a troublesome head injury.

As a competitive triathlete, marathon runner, ultra marathon runner and Ironman I am now adjusting to reduced mobility and what that means to my sport. With the amazing support from my family and friends I have started my recovery and return to some level of fitness. 12 months ago I was training for a 400 mile cycle ride for the EAAAS but the accident has put a halt  to attempting that this year along with any triathlon events as I am unable to cycle at the moment. 

The RTTS will be a huge undertaking for me and a milestone in that recovery none of which would be possible if I’d not had the incredible help of the ambulance service. So I’m also hoping to give a little bit back please help me to do that.
