Story
Shahram Sharghy and Tom Beamont are cycling from Toulouse to Bordeaux over three days, to raise money for the Spinal Injuries Association as part of their overseas cycle challenge in May 2026.
The challenge is a significant part of the Spinal Injuries Association's annual fundraising. It supports the vital work they do in working with and for those affected by spinal injuries. We would be hugely grateful if you could consider making a donation.
Further information on the SIA's important work can be found here, and below:
Imagine waking up one day and realising you’ll never walk again. For thousands of people living with spinal cord injuries, this is their reality. Simple tasks we often take for granted—getting dressed, making a cup of tea, or even hugging a loved one—become monumental challenges.
This is where fundraising comes in. We will be cycling 305km across 3 days alongside approximately 40 other riders, including riders with spinal cord injuries.
By supporting Spinal Injuries Association, you’re helping us provide life-changing services, from expert advice and peer support to campaigning for better care and opportunities. You’re giving people their independence back.
Thank you!
