Every two hours, someone in the UK will become paralysed. Globally, it is estimated that 15.4 million people are living with paralysis. At Spinal Research our vision is to create a world where paralysis can be cured, no matter when the injury occurred or where in the world.

Story

Having only just completed his Leicester to Skegness handcycle challenge, Pete isn't stopping there! On no, for his next challenge he will attempt to bench press a set of 60kg weights, 10 times, every 5 minutes for 6 hours! Pete will be joined by some of the worlds strongest disabled athletes, all raising money for charity.

Pete Linnett, 3 x Worlds Strongest Disabled Man and 4 x World Bench Press Champion, has spina bifida and uses crutches to walk. "I am one of the lucky few who can still walk, which is why I support those who cannot. Spinal Research is a cause close to my heart because I know there are a lot of people worse off than me ."

If Pete has inspired you to do your own personal virtual challenge then don't just think about it, sign up now and click the 'Start Fundraising' button. Or you could just make a donation and think about it some more!

Your support will help raise funds for research into the devastating effects of paralysis and give hope to those living with a spinal cord injury.
