Snowdonia · 23 April 2009

Regain is the only charitable organisation dedicated solely to improving the independence of all British men & women who have become tetraplegic as a result of a sporting or leisure accident. A tetraplegic is unable to walk and has limited reach & dexterity because use of the arms is severely impaired.

Story

All,

I, along with three friends, have signed up to complete the Snowdon Charity Challenge.

This herculean challenge comprises the following four arduous sections:

- 20 mile cycle (Llanberis -Rhyd Dhu)

- Climb up Mount Snowdon

- 20 mile cycle (Rhyd Dhu- Llanberis)

- 2.5 mile kayak (Llyn Padarn)

As you can imgine the roads around Snowdonia lack a certain flatness.  For the purists who really like to understand how gruelling a task is before sponsoring, the route and elevation profiles are included in the attached links.

The challenge should take between six and ten hours dependent on a number of factors (aside from fitness) including punctures, fog and severe chafing, so please do take pity and give generously. 


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Regain - The Trust For Sports Tetraplegics gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Any contribution no matter how small would be gratefully received. 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Brent
