SIS project manager Alan Cook and wheelchair athlete Kenny Herriot are undertaking a challenging 500 mile hand cycle to raise money for Spinal Injuries Scotland. They plan to cycle from Glasgow to Belfast to Dublin and back again in 7 days! Not only that, along the way they plan to visit the national spinal unit in each city to talk to patients and staff about their challenge.
