The trip aims to raise awareness and money for the treatment of Spinal Cord Injuries and, hopefully, a cure.
Every Hour, 48 people will suffer a spinal cord injury somewhere in the world.
This type of injury devastates the person involved, their family, and their friends.
Cancer Research Spends in One Day what
Spinal Cord Research Spends in Two Years.
I would take the direct approach and drive around the Northern Hemisphere. (The Original Plan was to drive across Russia, but we have changed the route due to circumstances.)
My journey is not a straightforward one; it’s a zig-zagging path across Europe, then a Roll-on Roll-off Ship will take me to Halifax in Canada, where I will drive across the entire country. From there, I will Continue my zig-zag through the US before returning to the UK via Halifax to Liverpool on another Roll-on Roll-off Ship. This personal connection with the journey is what makes it so meaningful and impactful.
The purpose of this zig-zagging journey is to personally connect with Spinal Centres and meet Spinal Injury Heroes in as many countries and cities as possible. I want to hear and share their incredible individual stories, as well as those of the dedicated Doctors and Researchers working tirelessly with Spinal Cord Injury Patients.
You can join in with discussions and follow my Entire Journey Live through the website or on our dedicated YouTube channel.
