BBC Radio Cambridgeshire Interview with David Bainbridge on Friday 2 September for 'Pulling Together Up Snowdon Challenge'
“I live with a number of significant physical and mental conditions and use a wheelchair, so when I decided to fundraise for the charity, I knew that whatever I chose to do was going to hurt a lot.
I figured it had to be big enough to be worth the additional pain, fatigue, discomfort and risks. That’s why the challenge had to show that no matter how hard and limiting my illness is, 'I can do hard things'.
I just don’t quit and that’s why I make a conscious decision daily to choose life and try to live life to full despite its many challenges.” - David Bainbridge
The epic “Pulling Together up Snowdon” challenge hopes to raise more than £20,000 for the global sailing charity which transforms lives through inclusive adventures at sea.
