Every 8 hours, someone has their life changed forever through spinal cord injury, in the UK.

Therefore the Wellspect UK team decided to join the charity bike ride between London and Paris—300 km—to raise money for the charities Aspire and Back Up.

Alan Cook from Wellspect will be hand cycling the whole journey to Paris!

– As someone with a spinal cord injury, both these charities are very close to my heart. I've been a keen hand cyclist for a number of years, but the cumulative effect of these distances over 3 days always makes for as serious challenge. I'm just praying for dry weather!

The weather looks fine in UK so far, but the situation is dramatic in Paris, where the water literally has taken over the city. One more challenge to overcome for the cyclists, but above all a critical situation for the Parisians struggeling with the flood.

30 years of catheter supplies

Over the past 30 years Wellspect products and services have been supporting people with spinal cord injury to live as independently as possible and we are incredibly proud to celebrate this heritage by joining the cycle challenge.

Join the Wellspect UK team in supporting the charities Aspire and Back Up!

And now – keep your fingers crossed for Alan Cook, Jonathan Simpson, Simon Talbot and Matt Willoughby.
