Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Back-Up Trust is a UK national charity that supports people, young or old, with spinal cord injury. Back-Up encourages self-confidence, independence and motivation following a traumatic life changing incident resulting in spinal cord injury. They also support friends, families and colleagues to encourage integration and promote disability awareness and collaboration.

Helvellyn summit stands at 3,114 feet and is the third highest peak in England. Teams of between eight and 15 people, including one person with spinal cord injury must climb, push, walk, pull and wheel to the summit of Mount Helvellyn and back down again.

For the last two years we have raised an amazing total of £7,278 by entering a team.
