Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are a team of four people, two couples, friends & neighbors’ (Ian & Ness and Chris & Lara) who are embarking on the 'Regain, Snowdonia Charity Challenge' on the 6th July 2013. We are four individuals who all have a very active and keen interest in sport; from triathlon to rugby and mountain climbing to netball. We have therefore chosen this charity because of the support it gives men and women who have become paralysed as the result of a sporting injury. It is not a big well known charity and therefore needs all the support it can get and we hope to achieve our target by a mixture of fun fundraising activities and people's generosity.
With the Olympic games last year, the summer of 2012 was phenomenal. However, even more inspiring was the Para-Olympics! Another reason to support this charity and the work that they do.
One of our team, Lara has had her own injuries to deal with over the last 4 years, with her passion for triathlon and road biking. She was knocked off her road bike twice while out training. Luckily her injuries were not as bad as they could have been and she is just about to get back out on her road bike! However, it makes you realise how quick these accidents can happen!
Is it difficult to imagine losing your independence and always having to reply upon others. By buying necessary equipment, Regain, offers that independence back to people after their injury. So please help us to help others.
