Paraplegic Amuptee Zambezi Canoe Trek

I’ve been a wheelchair user for over 32 years from a Road Traffic Accident which changed my life dramatically at the age of 20.
 
​I am always looking for the next big challenge to push my own boundaries and inspire others to push theirs when they are faced with a barrier.
 
October 2024……….♿️
 
This challenge will be the first for a paralysed amputee to canoe 175km down the lower Zambezi over 5 days. This is no easy challenge as I will be out of my comfort zone with regards the needs I require as a wheelchair user.
 
I am going to raising money to be split equally between two charities
 
Whizz Kidz is the UK leading charity for young wheelchair users. They create opportunities for young wheelchair users to get the equipment, skills and confidence to go. As the Head Caoch for the Lancaster Bulldogs Wheelchair Basketball Club, Whizz Kidz have provided valuable funding for the Juniors of the club to obtain their own made to measure RGK basketball chairs and set them all on their playing journey.
 
Spinal Research are the UK’s leading medical charity for research into spinal cord injury. They exist to cure paralysis and believe in the future where an injury to the spinal cord no longer means a life sentence. As a Spinal Cord injury individual it is impoetant that any research that can help change a persons life who is found to be in thi position is so important, and this charity are always supporting and looking at anything that can be done.
 
I will also be sourcing and donating wheelchairs to Mtendere Mission Hospital in Zambia as part of this challenge.
 
The Hospital is located in Chirundu, small township of the southern province of Zambia, right in the Zambezi valley bordering with Zimbabwe, about 150km from the Capital Lusaka. This donation would make such a huge difference to the community so please get in touch if you are able to donate good quality wheelchairs.
 
So please
