Starting on the 23rd June, I am taking part in Regain Sports Trust for Tetraplegics Go the Distance challenge. My challenge is the bronze cycling challenge, where I have one month to ride 100k. It would be great if you could take a look at Regain's Go the Distance challenge, and look for a challenge to do yourself too!

Regain The Trust for Sports Tetraplegics, was established in 1988 and became a registered charity and company in 1993. Regain is the only charity in the UK that is solely dedicated to improving the independence of those who have become tetraplegic as a result of a sporting or recreational accident. Having lost the use their limbs, tetraplegics need help to perform many of the most mundane day-to-day tasks. Mobility is the major issue for many and without the use of appropriate wheelchairs and adapted vehicles, tetraplegics can become trapped and isolated in their own homes. Regain supports its beneficiaries through a grants programme, where tetraplegics can apply to Regain to help fund specialist equipment to get them back to being active once again. This can range from wheelchairs to hand bikes. Regain has also funded some tetraplegics to gain qualifications that have led onto employment.
