Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me.  Through your support I will have raised over £1,500 for BLESMA.

Been building up stamina and endurance so with 5 days to go it will be opportunities to have some final training sessions before "go for it"  on Thursday morning.  So far I've completed almost 1,000 - yes ONE THOUSAND - miles in training!

Any final donations will be most welcome and again Thank You to everyone who is backing me in my effort.

David - (Saturday 24th September)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Thursday 29th September I will attempt a 62 mile Sponsored Hand Cycle on the SciFit machine in the fitness suite at Kneller Hall.
As a bilateral amputee, above knee with no prosthetic limbs, a conventional cycle is definitely out of the question.  The purpose of undertaking this event is to raise money for BLESMA.  I subsequently lost my legs as a result of being struck by lightning in 1982 whilst fulfilling Border Security duties on the border between Hong Kong and China. 
Why 62 miles? – a mile per year for the birthday that will be celebrated the day prior to the event.  Although the SciFit machine is in the fitness suite it models a route as may be encountered - including challenging hill climbs but no down hills for free wheeling you have to keep propelling all the time otherwise you come to a grinding halt!
