This May, I will be taking on an incredible five-day cycling challenge from Toulouse to Bordeaux as part of the Spinal Injuries Association Overseas Cycle Challenge 2026 — a flagship charity event that sees riders cover around 300–350 km through the beautiful French countryside, testing their endurance, determination, and teamwork along the way.

Believe me, I am not just pedalling for the sense of adventure — I am riding to make a real difference to those impacted by spinal cord injury Every pound raised will go towards the vital work of the Spinal Injuries Association, helping to support people across the UK whose lives have been transformed in an instant by spinal cord injury. From practical advice and emotional support to campaigning for better services, the charity is there for individuals and families every step of the way. Your support means Richard can turn his kilometres into meaningful change for others.

Thank you for contributing to this critical charity who make a genuine difference.
