Hi I'm Ben, I'm disabled and a wheelchair user and together with my friend Peter we are going to attempt to be the first people to cross The Alps in manual wheelchairs with no power assist. From Montreux on Lake Geneva in Switzerland to Como on the Italian Lakes. A journey of 422km with an assent of 6500m. I expect it to take 10 to 14 days.

We need to raise funds to pay for travel, a support vehicle, equipment, communications, and cold weather clothing for the 14 day challenge.

You can find more information about the challenge at Alps4Ataxia.com.

Thank you, Ben.
