A some of you might know, MrsA's cousin lost a leg a while back. In his own words:
Quote:
When I was 16 years old, I broke my foot playing rugby. Due to complicating factors I lost my leg below the knee 7 years later.
Quiet lot, that family.
He then got a bit tubby, and, in the way that these things work out, he decided to do something about it. So took up cycling.
Turns out, he's quite good at it. How good?
Well, 2010 was this:
Quote:
2010 National Champion - British National Disability Circuit Race Series
2010 Grand Prix of Wales Track Championships
1st place – Kilo
2nd place – Pursuit
3rd place – Team Sprint
2010 Kent Paracycling Eurotunnel International Championships
2nd Place – Time Trial
3rd Place – Road Race
2010 UCI World Paracycling Championships
12th place – Time Trial
18th place – Road Race
2010 UCI World Cup Race (Segovia, Spain)
9th Place – Time Trial
12th Place – Road Race
And 2011 has seen him do this:
Quote:
2011 UCI World Cup Race (Sydney, Australia)
1st place – Time Trial
2nd place – Road Race
2011 UCI Paracycling Track World Championships
6th place – Kilo
6th place – Pursuit
10th place – Team Sprint
So, he'll be representing Ireland in the 2012 Paralympics and if all goes well, I'll get to go and watch him do some cycling and things like that down in London, although everyone will have moved out of there by then, so it'll be me, Fuckhead and the F-i-L supping "expensive pints with no head as they haevn't used sprinklers ont taps".
Anyways, I'd like to ask you to do the
'click a like' thing on Facebook and then the Irish Paralympic Team get some money from Renault, which (
don't even think about a joke - MrsA) means I get to take them to London to watch it all. As they'll get to go.
His blog is
here.
Thank you very much.
Love From MrsA.
And Mali.
