Handcycle to compete in the K2 Cycle Race around the Coromandel
I am a Tetraplegic who wants to compete in the K2 Cycle race around the Coromandel next year.
Waikato
I wish to compete in the K2 Cycle Race in the Coromandel next year. I have been looking at purchasing a hand cycle to start training. But they are in excess of $10,000. I had an accident in July 2014 which has left me a tetraplegic. I woke from my comma and one of the first things I said is that I need to do the K2 Cycle Race. I have never been a person that has gone out for long cycle races or trained on a bike. I have spoken to the organisers of the K2 and they are amazedly what I want to achieve
But I do have the attitude that I can do anything. So if you can help make my dream come true I would be so grateful.

Bike sitting in Cambridge 21 December 2016
Getting so close to getting the bike up here. It has been delivered to Cambridge and I can pick it up when I finish paying for it. So looking forward to it. Have had a meeting with the K2 Trust Board last week. They are so happy and excited that I am going to attempt this race. So once I start training you will be able to follow my progress on Castle Rock cafe Facebook or the K2 Facebook.To everyone so far Thank You so much. With out you I would not be able to achieve this dream.
