on 25th July Martins wife,Emma, suffered a double fracture of her ankle whilst walking Hadrian’s wall near Sycamore Gap. Unable to move her, they had to rely on the outstanding services of the local mountain rescue teams ( North of Tyne and Northumberland) to stabilise her and transfer Emma to the waiting ambulance. Emma underwent surgery at the RVI having 2 plates and 8 screws inserted into her ankle. Now home and at the start of a lengthy rehabilitation Martin has decided to raise money for this charity. On 18th/19th August Martin will cycle The mighty Stelvio pass both ways, the Gavia and the Mortirolo. This is no mean feat consisting of climbing over 22,000 feet in 150 miles.
