In a moment of madness, our friend Mike who runs The Boss Corporation decided that he wanted to do something for charity. A specific charity - The Wessex Rehabilitation Centre. It was the superb team here who put Mike through 3 months of intensive physiotherapy after, in another (completely uncharacteristic) moment of madness, he had climbed a ladder in Washington DC, during hurricane season.
The resulting accident left Mike with bits of his elbows normally found on the inside, on the outside... After a 5 hour operation he was flown back to the UK, and referred to Salisbury District Hospital. When the cast was eventually removed he had no movement in his arm at all. This was terrible news. It was his drinking arm.
Five years on from the accident and Mike still raves about the team at the Wessex Rehabilitation Centre and the fantastic work they do there, so in order to show them just how much he appreciates their work, he will be performing another death defying stunt. But this time it's on purpose.
Mike will be crossing the solent. On a pedalo. No, really. One of the busiest shipping lanes. On a pedalo....
I know. That's what we said too.
However, knowing Mike as the cool calm and collected superhero he is, we're doing everything we can to support him, and we hope you will too.
