Story
Hi All - thank you for visiting our JustGiving Page.
We are a group of friends with a passion for cycling, the outdoors and the sense of freedom and independence that comes with it.
We are taking on a cycling challenge and, after months of hard training and countless early mornings on the Surrey Hills, we are planning on riding Le Marmotte Granfondo Alpes on 25 June 2023. It is a gruelling international cycling race featuring a 186 km route with 5,530m+ of climb.
We are very pleased to partner with Wings for Life, a great charity funding life-changing research into a cure for spinal cord injuries.
According to the WHO, every year, between 250,000 and 500,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury around the world.
The majority of spinal cord injuries are due to preventable causes such as road traffic crashes, falls or violence.
People with a spinal cord injury are two to five times more likely to die prematurely, with worse survival rates in low- and middle-income countries.
Your kindness and generosity means that, together, we can help supporting life-changing scientific research that will ultimately improve the lives of millions of people worldwide.
Please donate generously!
Filippo, Christer and Julio
