In September 2021 I had a cycling accident on a club ride. Sadly, it resulted in a spinal cord injury, which rendered me wheelchair-bound and tetraplegic (my legs and hands are paralysed). Since then, I have embarked on a slow, hard road to recovery. As part of that, I have recently managed to get a ‘Step up’ place at the Neurokinex specialist physio centre Gatwick, which I am now attending once a week for a couple of hours. This is proving impossible not only to my physical well-being, but also my Frame of mind. This week, as part of my session, I will be taking part in a relay rowing (Ergo machine) challenge., during which I am aiming to row 3km (or more) and raise £420 to help towards the Step-Up scheme (more detail below). I hope you can help me support this very worthwhile cause, which is helping me and other people in my situation.

Many thanks,

Paul

————————————————————————————————————————The Neurokinex Step Up Scheme brings a life-changing opportunity of six free rehab sessions to adults and children with a new spinal cord injury. It's an absolute lifeline which enables people to access the world-class Neurokinex facilities and expertise. The Step Up Scheme costs the Neurokinex Charitable Trust £420 per person to fulfil and it relies on funding for its survival.

From 3-10 September 2023, Neurokinex clients, families, friends and associates are stepping up to raise vital funds to secure the Step Up Scheme fo r another year. Many of those taking part benefitted from the Step Up Scheme themselves and know first-hand the physical and psychological value of this early intervention following their injury. They are now giving back to enable others to have this great opportunity.
