Amputee athlete takes on epic challenge to fund world cup dream

Nick will cycle over 650 miles across England, climbing Scafell Pike, and swimming Lake Windermere to raise funds for the England Physical Disability Rugby League (PDRL) team.

His 'TRi/Y for England' challenge kicks off on June 7 in Berwick-upon-Tweed, with stops planned in the Lake District and at the Rugby Football League headquarters in Manchester, before finishing at Lizard Point in Cornwall.

"I came up with the idea after cycling from Castleford to Wembley a few years ago," said Nick.

"The idea is TRI, like triathlon, and TRY, like rugby."

Nick hopes to raise at least £2,500 towards the England PDRL team's campaign for the 2026 World Cup in Australia.
