A group of charity fundraisers will attempt to cycle 600 miles in six days to support a student left paralysed in a knife attack.
His brother, Will, will lead 23 other cyclists across three countries in the attempt to raise more than £50,000. He said: “The fight my little brother has shown to stay alive has been truly inspirational, I hope I can repay that inspiration by getting across the Alps. “This challenge not only will allow us to raise funds and give hope to those suffering paralysis and spinal injuries but it also gives us the opportunity to raise awareness of the growing problem that is knife crime both in our capital and across the rest of the UK. “It would be tremendous if as many Londoners as possible can help support us – even as little as £1 will help take us closer towards meeting our £50,000 target, helping Oli and other Londoners suffering paralysis and spinal injuries.
