The Cause:

To raise money for Scinergise, a charity that provides financial support for young people that suffer spinal cord injury’s.

Scinergise was started by the of my team mate Andrew

Andrews nephew Oliver suffered a tragic accident in October 2016 left him paralysed from the waist down.

The Charity:

Scinergise aims to provide financial support to young people who have suffered spinal chord injuries so that they can improve their quality of life post-injury by purchasing products, services and/or experiences outside the remit of care provided by the statutory authorities. Every penny raised will go directly towards providing this extra care.

Shockingly the statistics show that in the UK every two hours there is somebody paralysed through a spinal chord injury.

Hence the numbers are growing day by day equating to 4,400 per year and a current total figure of 105,000 people living with a spinal chord injury.

It is no surprise therefore that charities are playing a huge role in supporting the NHS to provide the much needed ongoing care.

The Challenge:

To cycle 1456km in 6 days, from John O’Groats (north point of Scotland) to Lands End (Southern tip of England)

take some serious effort and preparation but we are all motivated by such a worthy cause.

The ride and all associated costs will be paid for by the three of us so all monies raised will go directly to Scinergise.

Every donation is accepted with thanks and gratitude.
