The Handcycling the route known as ‘Race around Ireland’ Challenge
On the 10th June 2022 I became the FIRST HANDCYCLIST to complete the infamous route known as Race Around Ireland, over 1300 miles in 13 days.
This challenge tested my mental strength to maximum and my body nearly to breaking point. The challenge had everything, constant bad weather, rough roads and a stomach bug on the 9th day which nearly halted the challenge but thanks to Imodium in vast quantities I was able to continue.
Team Paddison will be raising money for Womens Aid, a charity which is at the forefront of shaping and coordinating response to domestic violence.
