Story

Those who know me know I was a keen runner before a spinal cord injury 2 years ago paralysed me, and put a halt to my running.  Further spinal surgery a few weeks ago means that I am unable to attempt a physical challenge at the moment.

Step forward Simon Dickinson, who has very kindly agreed to run 26km (16.15 miles) with 3 days notice. No mean feat and something that Aerobility are hugely grateful for.

Please help us raise much needed funds to ensure that the charity can continue to change lives through the magic of flight.

Save the UK's CharitiesGeneral fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.
