Every 2 hours, someone in the UK sustains a spinal cord injury. Their world – and that of their family – is turned upside-down. SIA aim to reach everyone affected by spinal cord injury, to connect them to all the help and support they need to life a fulfilled life.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I wanted to put my cycling obssesion to use.... So, I am going to bike 874miles for the 'Spinal Injuries Association' I wanted to do something for a charity that means something to me, and thinking about my brother I decided on Sia, they are also a charity I don't feel gets enough publicity and recognition.</p> <p>874 miles is the distance from Lands end to John O'Groats! I have 12 weeks in which to complete these miles. I have a computer on my bike which records the miles I have cycled each time, and will record this on the chart I have been sent by Sia.</p> <p>Sia - <cite>www.<strong>spinal</strong>.co.uk</cite></p> <ul> <li>Offer support and assistance from the time of injury and for the rest of a paralysed person's life</li> <li>Provide services to increase an individual's quality of life</li> <li>Support the families of newly injured people</li> <li>Increase knowledge and awareness of the causes and consequences of spinal cord injury</li> <li>Campaign for the best medical and social care for spinal cord injured people.</li> </ul> <p>Please give anything you can for this great charity. :-)</p> <p>If you want to sponsor me, but don't want to do it online, email me krista291207@aol.com and I can put you on a sponsor form.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
