My Story

My story started one sunny July morning in 2021 cycling with my two friends Tony and Peter, from nowhere we were mown over by a car driven at speed by a young driver over the drink drive limit and on his phone. This split second action has changed my life forever and if it was not for the skills and promt action by the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance I would not be here.

Since the accident I have gradually pushed myself down the rehabilitaton route and with time and the support of many professionals, friends and a loving family I find myself able to take on some physical challenges once more.

I am now attempting to cycle the Coast to Coast challenge in aide of The Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance so please support me in raising as much money as possible for this so worthwhile cause.
