In my 40's i had a serious spinal injury and the treatment i received was very successful; it enabled me to continue walking. Not everybody has been so lucky. As I'm now in my 70's and still able to lead an active life I want to give back now to help others survive spinal trauma.

To do this Three Peaks Challenge i have been training since January.  I've been working out in the Westminster Lodge gym on the treadmill and static bike and walking 2-8 miles every day around the lovely countryside in St Albans.

From October 2nd - 4th I will walk up three mountain peaks in three days in the French and Italian Alps.  Any contribution you can make towards this great cause would be fantastic - thank-you!

Because of the efforts of our supporters, we have funded innovative medical research that has achieved a number of ground breaking changes in the field.
