Story
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. It genuinely means more than you know.
In 2019, my life changed in an instant when a motorcycle accident left me a C4/C3 tetraplegic, paralysed from the neck down.
Since then, every day has brought challenges I could never have imagined. I have had to adapt to a completely different way of living and learn just how much determination, support and resilience it can take to keep moving forward.
Now, I am preparing to take on the biggest challenge of my life.
From 23 to 25 September 2026, I will attempt to travel Coast to Coast across Scotland, from Fort William to Inverness along the world-famous Great Glen Way, using an off-road wheelchair controlled entirely with my chin.
Three days. 79 miles. Some of Scotland’s toughest terrain.
I know it is going to be incredibly hard. It will test me physically and mentally in ways I cannot fully prepare for. There will be moments when I am exhausted, uncomfortable and wondering how I am going to keep going.
But every mile will have a purpose.
I am aiming to raise £100,000 for Regain, The Charity for Tetraplegics, an organisation that helps people living with tetraplegia rebuild their independence, confidence and quality of life.
I know first-hand how dramatically life can change in a moment. That is why this challenge is about so much more than crossing Scotland. It is about helping other people with tetraplegia discover what is still possible. It is about giving people opportunities, equipment and support when they need it most. And it is about showing that even when life changes beyond recognition, there can still be new challenges, new adventures and new reasons to keep pushing forward.
I cannot do this alone. Every donation, every share and every message of support will help carry me towards Inverness and, most importantly, help Regain change lives.
I want to raise funds to support other tetraplegics, people who are facing the same life-changing spinal injuries as me. I also want to show that life doesn’t end after a spinal injury. It changes, yes, but it can still be full, meaningful, and even extraordinary.

ABOUT TETRAPLEGIA:
It affects movement and/or sensation in all four limbs and can also affect other parts of the body. But every spinal cord injury is different, so no two people will experience tetraplegia in exactly the same way.
Some people may have some movement or sensation, while others may have very little. The level and severity of the injury will shape what day-to-day life looks like.
Complete and Incomplete Tetraplegia:
->Complete tetraplegia means that messages from the brain are no longer getting through the injured area of the spinal cord in the way needed for movement or sensation below the injury.
->Incomplete tetraplegia means that some messages are still able to travel through the injured area of the spinal cord. This means a person may keep some movement, sensation or function below the level of their injury.
Incomplete tetraplegia can look very different from person to person. Someone may have good movement in their arms but limited hand function, while another person may have some movement in their legs or be able to stand or walk with support.
