On the 1st July a group of us will be attempting the 3 peaks challenge to try to raise money to contribute towards a new wheelchair for our friend Dan Wierzbicki. His day to day chair is top notch but no good for off road. Dan wants to enjoy life to the fullest and I think with the aid of this new chair it will open up many more opportunities for him. The new chair is known as a mountain trike. It is an off-road wheelchair designed specifically to help him get around on rough ground be it at a festival or watching his old American football team play or to even partake in his own mountaineering excursions one day!

For those of you that don't know Dan, he had a skiing accident in March last year, which left him paralysed from the chest down. Over a year on and Dan has come a long way. He plays murderball (wheelchair rugby) with the Solent Sharks, and on the anniversary of the crash, Dan got back on the proverbial horse and took to Hemel Hempstead for his first sit ski lesson. We have never known such strength and determination. Dan has a real passion for life and will continue to strive to do what he loves.
