Big Push for spinal injury victim

A group of twelve friends are to cycle from Brighton to Lands End this September in order to help a friend who broke his back and is now in a wheelchair.

In May 2008, their friend Oscar had an accident and broke his back and has since been in a wheelchair. Determined that this will not remain the case, he found a clinic in London which gave him more hope than the NHS doctors, who had told him he would never walk again. After only six weeks of treatment he is starting to see really positive results - a twitching in his toe, and muscle tone returning to his right leg.

The treatment is not available on the NHS, so his friends have offered to help raise the money.

Oscar himself will be taking part by pushing himself to Lands End in his chair.
