The event is suitable for ALL levels of fitness. Please help us reach our target of £10,000 to fund specialist equipment for the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital’s new Spinal Cord Injury Centre (SCIC). The SCIC is one of 11 centres in the UK designated to receive and treat spinal-cord injured patients. It is nationally and internationally renowned for the quality of its care and its pioneering treatment methods. Spinal cord injury has a devastating effect on the 1,200 people who become paralysed each year in the UK.

The contribution the SCIC has made to the development of spinal cord injury care in the UK is immense, it was clinicians at the RNOH who first emphasised the importance of rehabilitation and restoration from within hours of injury, and who revolutionised the length of time devoted to spinally injured patients.
