October 2024 will see a spectacular challenge take place which aims to raise £100,000 to benefit Spinal Research and Whizz Kidz.
Supporter Shaun Gash was paralysed in a car crash 32 years ago. In the following years, he has raised thousands for charity, but a challenge to scale Ben Nevis in 2018 left him having his lower leg amputated.
Shaun is now hoping to become the first paralysed amputee to canoe the Zambezi and will be joined by two other challengers with spinal cord injuries.
The challenge will cover 175km of the lower Zambezi River and the team hopes to complete the challenge in 5 days.

"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. I don't want to look back and think I wish I'd done that, I want to look back and think I did that"
