Neurological Teaching CentreMNC patient raising funds to support people paralysed in sporting accidents
Sean Crosby is taking part in the India Bike Ride for REGAIN to raise funds to support people paralysed in sporting accidents. The ride starts on 19 November 2010 and runs until 28 November 2010. This challenge entails cycling between 40 to 65 miles per day over variable and demanding terrain.
Sean has visited Manchester Neurotherapy Centre for treatment in the past which has helped him to improve his walking. Sean suffered a severe stroke in February 2000 as a result of sustaining a head injury after falling off his bicycle and banging his head whilst out training on a bike ride. In hospital, Sean was told he would never walk,talk or work again. However, Sean decided not to accept this and started working extremely hard to regain both movement and speech. After a decade of determination and focused rehabilitation, he can now walk, speak and is engaged in part time voluntary work. Sean is keen to raise money for the charity and is committed to getting fit in preparation for the event. Aside of work, he is married to Maria and they have two children, Callum (aged 9) and Katie (aged 22 months) who are fully supportive of his charity fundraising.
In order to take part in the event, Sean has to raise £3,250 towards the trip and is therefore seeking help with obtaining sponsorship and/or support. If you feel that you could sponsor or help him in any way, then please can you either contact him direct - Cheques should be made payable to Sean Crosby Bike Challenge, Hazelwood,123 Junction Road, Bolton, BL3 4NF or go to the website www.justgiving.com/regain/raisemoney and search for Sean Crosby.
