Hi, I'm Peter,

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On Sunday 7th June 2009 is WheelPower's annual charity bike ride - Mix 96 Tour de Vale. It takes place at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

As I can no longer ride a bicycle because of a spinal cord injury, I am going to ride the 30 mile route on my handcycle. So I will go further than a marathon, but propel myself using only my arms. Please, please, please sponsor me. WheelPower does a great job helping people with disabilities get active in wheelchair sports.

For many disabled people, getting involved in sport helps give a purpose back to their life. It also takes them from a life where opportunities often do not exist, to the freedom of not being confined in their normal environment. I cannot emphasise enough how important sport can be to people with disabilities. YOU can make a BIG difference to their lives.

In case you did not realise, my handcycle is technically a wheelchair! I know, it does not look much like a wheelchair, but when I imported my first handcycle from the USA it had "Wheelchair" on the customs declaration. It might be interesting to try and fit it in the wheelchair spaces on a bus!

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