Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I can't believe I am doing another ride especially as I have said after my previous two "never again"!!  However, cycling 100s of miles with the most incredible tetraplegics and their carers and seeing how much they gain in so many ways from the work done by REGAIN, I feel compelled to do it again and again and again ............!!!

Life can change in a second....... a few seconds of your time can change a life.

Regain is the only charitable organisation dedicated solely to improving the independence of all British men and women who have become tetraplegic, sometimes referred to as quadraplegia, as a result of a severe spinal cord injury through sporting accidents including riding, diving, cycling, skiing and rugby.  Most often these accidents occur to young, dynamic individuals.  One minute they are fit, active and healthy.  The next minute, they are paralysed, unable to move and in need of support for the rest of their lives.  REGAIN exists to help them www.regainsportscharity.com.

I and 62 other people (including 6 tetraplegics) will endeavour to cycle 450 km over five days from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to Angkor Wat in Cambodia.  It will be a tough cycle ride with disabled hand cyclists and able-bodied cyclists riding together attempting to complete the challenge.

There is someone in nearly every town in Britain who has broken their back whilst taking part in a sporting activity.  REGAIN provides support by purchasing equipment to help people paralysed in this way lead a more independent life.  The charity currently has requests for items like computers and electric and sports wheelchairs totalling more than £250,000. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you in anticipation of your support and encouragement.
