Hi Rob here. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Regain have helped me out in the past with money to buy the track racing chair I completed the London marathon in this April and also the Wheelchair rugby chair I currently use to train in. They are a very good charity who have helped me and many other people who have had similar injuries to be independant and to enjoy sport again. Doing this cycle ride is a good way to raise money for them to be able to help others like they have helped me.
The trip will involve cycling 350km across Cuba, over 10 days on a hand cycle which Regain will also lend me. It will need stamina and strength and i will have to train pretty hard to enable me to complete the full distance. I have not handcycled any distance before beginning this training routine. I have done distance training when training for the London marathon last year but using the handbike is different and we will be covering 50 or 60 miles on some days. I know some people reading this may not know me, not know me very well or have not seen me for a while, however if you can contribute just a little it will all help.
I have to raise the money before I go to be able to take part in the event so please donate now rather than on completion. Thank you very much for your time and support.
If you would like to donate to Regain but do not want to do it on line send a cheque payable to "Regain" to "Trevor Smith, 12 Rothwell Gardens, Woodley, Reading, Berks, RG5 4TJ." and I will add your donation and name at the bottom of this section of text.
Rob.
