Story

Imagine your life paralysed -  SUDDENLY - paralysed from the neck down-  How would you feel? What would your future look like?  What would you do and who would help you?

My response is  to cycle across Kenya using only my chin & Cyclone Mobility's Quadrix tetraplegic bike-  it has never been done before! Why.....

Regain -  Are TRULY one of the worlds most unsung charities- making such a HUGE difference to the lives of people living with a high-level spinal cord injury.  They helped to transform my opportunities and attitude. Supporting me over the past 13 years without any question of repayment,  need for thanks or asking one SINGLE thing in return!  They have helped me overcome every challenge and aspect of living with a spinal cord injury- a wheelchair, a mentor and life-changing advice. 

In such times of austerity to help the lives of so many with families  overcome similar challenges living with a high-level spinal cord injury specifically- they need our support!

To support them in such difficult times for charities  I My brothers Anthony and Stephen and five of my best friends, alongside six fellow phenomenal tetraplegic individuals are cycling across Kenya!!! WOW!! Imagine that paralysed from the neck down!  I will be the highest level participant, using a chin controlled cycle over the tough and robust 400 km terrain. This has never been done before!

Your fantastic generosity will help  transform the lives of so many people AND their families living with a high-level spinal cord injury gain LIFE CHANGING equipment,  advice, support and most importantly the ability to change their perception and societies of what they and so many others can achieve living with such a tragic,  relentless and  non-compromising injury.

 Thank you so much for your support! xx
