Ben's road to the World Championships
Donation protected
Hi my name is Angela.I'm trying to get support for Ben who has spina bifida and hydrocephalus and loves riding WCMX (wheelchair motocross). In 2019 he went to the World Championships in Cologne,Germany and came 4th in the Kids Division.In 2020 because of Covid the World Championships in Californa,USA were postponed and held virtually.Riders submitted a video of a run at their local skatepark,Ben entered the Beginners Division and came 1st place.2021 no competition was held so he's still currently world champion.In April he became the first male in the UK and youngest in Europe to perform a backflip in his wheelchair.His videos went viral all over the world!
The 2022 World Championships have been announced and will take place in Fontana,California USA on 17th December and Ben would love to go and compete.
We are trying to support him with the sport he so loves doing but Bank of Mum and Dad can not fully fund his quest anymore alone so we are looking for help with travel,training costs and funds to get him to the USA.
Many thanks in advance
