<p>We are raising money for the world renowned National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in order to reprovide a sports facility to support the rehabilitation of our spinal cord injured patients.</p>
<p>Spinal Cord Injury is a catastrophic event that is life changing for both the individual and their families. In 1944 Sir Ludwig Guttmann opened the first spinal injuries centre in the UK at Stoke Mandeville Hospital that was also home to the first parallel Olympic Games (Paralymics). In the 67 years the Centre at Stoke Mandeville has built a world wide reputation for the treatment, rehabilitation and lifelong care and support it provides to patients. </p>
<p>As a prelude to the London-Paris ride Team <span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">Après SCI</span></span> will be holding a Ball including a charity auction at Pendley Manor on 6th May 2001. Tickets are £50 each or a table for 10 cost £500. The evening includes dancing to live music from 'Wired' and a 3 course meal and the charity auction. Gifts for auction are also very welcome.
