In 2009 Dan, then aged 22 was involved in a tragic cycling accident that left him paralysed from the chest down. Dan also suffered a stroke as he recovered in hospital, leaving him unable to use his right arm.

He then set out to raise the money in order to pay for the surgery. Over 4 years he managed to raise £22,000 from various fund raising activities and the operation was in sight.

Thanks to this overwhelming generosity, it wasn’t long before Brecon was flying to the US for an operation in Missouri.
