Grant’s #twopointsixchallenge

Grant is one of our regular participants, and when he found out about the #twopointsixchallenge he signed up immediately. His challenge was to cycle 26.2 miles on his handcycle, taking a route from his house in Penge, over to Crystal Palace via the cycle route, to Beckenham and Elmer’s End, and then back to Penge – which he successfully completed!

“I enjoy handcycling as it gives me the freedom to go to places. When I was struck off work and told that my life would change (which it has for the better), as a Veteran I wanted to keep fit. This was getting hard to do as my arthritis was getting worse than I thought it would, but then I noticed a sport for Disabled people: cycling with Wheels for Wellbeing. They are the ones who helped me to get where I am now – taking part in the Invictus Games, Warrior Games and Help for Heroes with other Disabled war veterans. I thank those at WfW for the help and opportunities.”
