This challenge sees them taking on a route from the Humber Bridge to another bridge somewhere in the UK.\u00a0 Previous excursions have been made to the Severn bridge (262 miles) and the Forth bridge (300 miles).\u00a0 The &#8220;Bridge&#8221; theme relates to the basis of the treatment that is being researched\/funded via nsif, which looks to bridge the damaged area of the spine to facilitate nerve regrowth and restoration of function to SCI patients.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to the Pyes for their continued support.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\"
