Story
Hi there!
REGAIN is a charity that helps individuals who have suffered a severe spinal cord injury, and lost the use of some or all limbs as a direct result of participation in sport; many of whom are young and healthy at the time of their injuries.
To raise money for REGAIN, the four of us have signed up to the Snowdonia Challenge...a 40 mile Bike Ride, climbing Mt Snowdon and Kayaking a lake course in Wales on the 2nd July 2011.
Just a few statistics...
700 people per year suffer spinal injuries in the UK that result in partial or total paralysis.
17% of these injuries (app 120) of these are occur in sporting accidents.
The actvities that cause most injuries are Diving, Horse Riding, Martial Arts, Gymnastics and Rugby.
Whether you are someone who participates in sport, someone who feels strongly about this cause...or someone who would just like one (or more!) or us to go through some pain for a day...
Please help us to support REGAIN by supporting us!
Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks, Rob, Gary, Si and Dunk
