Hand Bikes at Dawn '13 - Support Crew

On 20th April 2013, a small group of disabled riders will attempt to scale Cadair Idris, one of the tallest mountains in Snowdonia, using specially designed mountain bikes. The bikes, which are pedalled by hand rather than by foot, have especially low gears which will be essential on the steep and rocky upper slopes of the mountain. During the 10-hour epic, I will be assisting the riders in their challenge.

The aim of the challenge is to raise the profile of adaptive mountain biking within the UK and to raise funds for a number of associated projects and local charities. The money donated will be split between:

Mawddach Rotary Club (10%) - http://www.justgiving.com/mawddachrotary

Challenge your Boundaries adaptive MTB project (30%) - http://www.facebook.com/ChallengeYourBoundaries 

Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team (30%) - http://www.facebook.com/AberdyfiSART

'Walking with the Wounded' a project assisting injured service personnel (30%) - http://walkingwiththewounded.org.uk/http://walkingwiththewounded.org.uk/

This ambitious event is being organised by 'Challenge your Boundaries' :

Further details of this fantastic event can be found on the events main Hand Bikes at Dawn Justgiving page: http://www.justgiving.com/teams/handbikesatdawn

Helping the disabled back into the outdoors not only improves thier quality of life, it also shows everyone else what they can achieve. This event will raise funds for charities to aid them in this goal, while at the same time breaking down boundaries, which is something I feel to be very worthwhile.
