Brighton to Paris Fundraiser

Aim

We are planning an adventure skate with wheelchair users from Brighon to Paris to celebrate the start of the 2024 Paris Paralympics.

12 years ago, a team of French skaters pushed wheelchair users from Paris to London to celebrate the start of the 2012 London Paralympics. 

Inspired by their the brilliant work they did to bring skaters and wheelchair users together, we decided to set our own organisation in London, and thus Wheels and Wheelchairs was born.

And now, 12 years later, with the 2024 Paralympics setting place in Paris, it is only right that Wheels and Wheelchairs celebrates 12 years of bring happiness to wheelchair users by going on a huge adventure by pushing 4-5 wheelchair users from Brighton to Paris over 5 days, covering over 121 miles to celebrate the start of the 2024 Paris Paralympics. 

This year’s skate is not just a physical challenge but a dynamic team effort, woven with the spirit of inclusivity and endurance. Participants will have the unique opportunity to conclude their journey in the festive atmosphere of the Paralympic Games in Paris.

In order to make this ambitious plan a reality, we would very much welcome any donations to help fund our trip. This will go towards covering the cost of ferries, coaches, food, accomodation, and many other items to help us maximise the safety of everyone involved, as well as making sure this trip is one our skaters and wheelchair users will remember.
