JMW Personal Injury team cycle 305km across France for the Spinal Injuries Association

This month (May 2026) Rachel Botterill, Cathy Leech and Jamie Rhind of JMW’s Personal Injury team joined the Spinal Injuries Overseas Bike Ride as part of a 40-strong team raising money for the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA), a national charity supporting people affected by spinal cord injury.

The intrepid trio cycled from Toulouse to Bordeaux: it was particularly poignant for Jamie, who was paralysed from the chest down after a diving accident when he was 19, leaving him with only limited arm and hand movement, because after he crossed the finish line on his specially modified hand bike he found out he had been voted the “Ride Hero” by his fellow cyclists.

Congratulations to all three, and if you would like to support their fundraising efforts you can do so here: Rachel Botterill is fundraising for Spinal Injuries Association
