How will you ride for research?
We are amazed by the cycle challenges our supporters set themselves to help find a cure for paralysis.
We’ve witnessed our supporters taking on epic cycle challenges all over the world even breaking world records in the process! Check out some of their accomplishments and see if you’re inspired!
If you’d like to take on your own challenge tell us about it below and we will support every mile of your challenge.
Tandem Bike Ride around the world

lifetime breaking world records in the
process. He cycled the world on a
tandem bike covering 23 countries in
283 days.

Britain covering 450 miles. Mark began
