<\/p>\nAbsolutely over the moon for Rob Camm, the first tetraplegic in the world to take on a Tough Mudder in a powered wheelchair. And we’re honoured that he’s raised over \u00a35,000 for us in the process.<\/p>\n
Rob’s paralysed as a result of a car accident, but him and his team took on the Cirencester Tough Mudder on 23 August in his all-terrain wheelchair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He completed a 12-mile challenge on his wheelchair controlled by his chin. “I wanted to do a Tough Mudder before the accident,” he said. “I\u2019ve got a wheelchair that\u2019s capable of doing it, so I thought \u201cwhy not?\u201d It\u2019s a wheelchair set on top of a quad bike and I\u2019ve not found anything that can stop it, yet.”<\/p>\n
We supported Rob in intensive care with an eye-controlled computer after his accident. He was able to explore the internet, connect with his friends, play games and adjust to his new situation (watch the video at\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/1LNqa1k<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Absolutely over the moon for Rob Camm, the first tetraplegic in the world to take on a Tough Mudder in a powered wheelchair.
