The 3 Peak Alpine Challenge for Spinal Research and Alison Baldwin

3 Peak Alpine Challenge · 6 October 2021 to 10 October 2021 ·
We have decided to take on the 3 peak challenge with a bit of a twist!
3 peaks, in 3 countries, in just 3 days, all to raise vital funds for Spinal Research.
As most of you are aware, last year Connor's Mum, had a life changing accident whilst out on a family cycle ride, which left her paralysed from the neck down. It has been undoubtedly one of the most challenging years of all our family member's lives, none more so than Alison. However, she has shown an unparalleled level of strength, resilience and determination throughout and continues to recover little by little very day.
Spinal Research undertakes genuinely life changing research into the effects, treatment and rehabilitation of Spinal cord injuries, and strive to better the lives of everyone living with a spinal cord injury.
The support Connor received when raising money for his birthday last year went a long way to help Spinal Research fund their amazing research and it has inspired us to try and raise more money for this brilliant cause!
We hope that you can all help in any way you can, even the smallest of donations count!
